A hands-on garden, art, and seasonal food field trip
Explore the colors, shapes, textures, and flavors of the fall garden through a playful combination of gardening, creativity, and hands-on art.
The experience begins with a short, age-appropriate garden lesson focused on seasonal vegetables and how they grow. Participants then use fresh-cut vegetables as natural stamps, along with foam brushes and fabric paint, to create their own garden-inspired textile artwork.
As the artwork dries, the pieces are displayed throughout the garden on a clothesline, creating a colorful Garden Gallery for everyone to enjoy.
Participants then gather for a casual lunch featuring kid-friendly favorites, fresh fruits and vegetables, apple cider, and a sweet treat before wrapping up with a group photo surrounded by their artwork.
