Discover the amazing world of plants with your preschooler during the Garden Buds Summer Saturdays series at the Missouri Botanical Garden.
These fun, hands-on classes are for children ages 4 to 6 with a parent. In this class, you'll learn how to press flowers to make them last forever and create some fun flower crafts.
During this class, kids will discover why birds find the Garden such a wonderful place to live, then make a bird feeder to take home and help attract birds to their own yard.
Please bring a reusable cup for water bottle for your child. Juice and water will be provided. A snack will be served during each class. Snacks may include fruit, vegetables, milk products, wheat soy or eggs (no peanuts), unless the instructor know of an existing allergy.
Cost is $16 per child for members and $19 per child for non-members.
10 to 11:30 a.m. or 1 to 2:30 p.m.
