Kids Gardening Class at Peninsula Gardens

Peninsula Gardens, a Gig Harbor nursery and garden center, has a fun class for active little ones who are ready to get outside and get their thumbs green! Gardening 4 Kids: Starting Seeds, is a spring class exploring seeds and showing children how to cultivate vegetable seeds to start a mini-garden. Since spring is here, this is a great opportunity for kids to learn about something that you can do outside together!

This class takes place on Wednesday April 23rd at 4 p.m., and there is a $5 participation fee. Supplies are limited so call 253.851.8115 and sign up soon!

If you become inspired by this class, Peninsula Gardens has tools and a wide variety of annuals, perennials, herbs and vegetables you can purchase to create a mini-garden of your own. For more information about Peninsula Gardens, visit peninsulagardens.com.
