Over the summer months I accessed the community garden program at ESFP. My children and I learned about growing food and the connections between gardens and kitchens. ESFP is a great community.

Little Sprouts provides young children, toddler to early age six, and their parents/caregivers with hands-on, nature-based learning opportunities in a community garden, including planting, tending, harvesting and cooking locally-grown foods. For families that have limited access to green spaces, Little Sprouts provides important first experiences and first lessons about growing foods and caring for our environment. Children also have opportunities to enjoy nature and garden-based craft activities, stories, circle times and other open-air activities. Recent research findings suggest that outdoor activities and exercise are integral to general health and well-being. Please join us!
