We're so excited to have Bloom & Zoom Children's Museum here in Goldsboro!!

Sneak peek time! 🎨
One of the spaces we are most excited about at Bloom & Zoom is the Art Studio — a hands-on creative space where kids can paint, craft, and explore what it means to make something from nothing.
No wrong answers. No perfect technique required. Just kids with supplies, imagination, and the freedom to create. ✏️🖌️
What's your child's favorite way to be creative? Tell us in the comments! 👇

🌱 Help Bring a Community Garden Back to Life! 🌻

Join Growing Generations and The Housing Authority of the City of Goldsboro during the 2026 Day of Action and help restore a community garden that provides residents with opportunities to garden, connect with nature, and build community.

Many of the garden's participants are seniors with limited mobility or health concerns. Volunteers will help prepare the space for future planting by removing weeds, clearing overgrowth, and improving garden beds. No gardening experience is necessary—just a willingness to get your hands dirty and make a difference!

📅 Volunteer Dates:
• Monday, June 15, 2026
• Monday, June 29, 2026

📍 508 E. Walnut Street, Goldsboro
👥 5 Volunteers Needed Each Day

Can't volunteer? You can still support the project!

The garden is seeking donations of:

🌿 ½ Cubic Yard of Compost to help restore and enrich the soil.

💙 Monetary donations are also welcome and will be used to purchase materials needed to revitalize the garden.

Together, we can help create a thriving outdoor space where residents can grow fresh produce, enjoy the outdoors, and connect with their neighbors.

👉 Sign up to volunteer or contribute:

A little work in the garden today can help cultivate a stronger, healthier community tomorrow.

💙 A HUGE THANK YOU to Scarlett and Paul from the Wayne Community College Science Club for putting this amazing activity together!

🔬🧪 Your time, creativity, and dedication made this experience both educational and exciting for our children and families. We are so grateful for your partnership and for helping inspire young minds through hands-on science learning! 👏🏽✨🌎✨🚀

At Earth Day Fun Day, one of the most exciting hands-on activities was building and exploring a trebuchet — a simple machine that uses force and motion to launch objects! 🛠️⚙️

Our children had an amazing time learning about STEM through play 🧠📚, discovering how engineering, teamwork 🤝, and problem-solving come together in a fun and interactive way.

Watching them test their creations and cheer each other on was a highlight of the day! 🎯🙌
At Growing Generations, we love creating opportunities that make learning engaging while inspiring young minds.

💚 Earth Day Fun Day was filled with fun, exploration, and community—and this activity was a hit! 🌱🌞
