Fun "Little Sprouts Plant Club" events happening in Beaverton at Sugarbeet Suite!

Learn about plants and flowers with the company of other littles! Register now!

Our Little Sprouts Plant Club Summer Schedule!

🌿Tuesday, June 30 ~ "Plants (like people) need different things." Kids will learn about different soil types, water and sunlight needs. They will have the opportunity to create a happy home for a small plant.

🌿Tuesday, July 14 ~ "Deciduous/Evergreen/or perennial?" kids will learn the difference between these categories of plants and trees. They will each go home with one of the above!

🌿 Tuesday, July 28 ~ "I want to be a florist!" Kids will learn how to arrange cut flowers in a vase or wrap and will be able to take their creation home!

🌿Tuesday, August 11 ~ "Inside or Outside?" With some help from our friends at Freeman Nursery, kids will learn about outdoor plant care and learn the difference between plants that prefer outside versus inside environments.

All classes will be held from 11 AM to noon on these dates. We will divide each session into 3 to 5-year-olds (11-11:30) and 6 to 8-year-olds (11:30-12:00). Please RSVP at the link below to reserve your spots! We will send out reminders!

We can't wait to share our love of plants and flowers with your little sprouts!
