Joyce's Jungle Presents 
Preschool  Growing Gardeners





"Get ready to “Spring” into Gardening! Gardening is a fun, educational, and health-promoting activity that can enrich a preschooler's development while fostering a love for nature. Don’t worry about fighting the crowds to find the perfect seeds or seedlings, grow your own! Choose your class for what best suits your family and home. All classes include basic instructions, soil, containers and ID stakes, as well as assistance if needed! Weather permitting, we will venture on the trails to see if we can peek at nature wakening for the season!

Space is limited!!  Pre-registration is required for all classes. Dress to make a mess. An adult must always accompany the registered child.  Open to ages 0-7 Location: Tri Pond Park Nature Center, South Kingtown
