Does your child love digging in the dirt and getting their hands dirty?

Our NEW! Little Buds Garden Club is the perfect opportunity for young gardeners to learn where food comes from while having fun outdoors. Participants will enjoy hands-on experiences planting and growing vegetables and flowers at the community garden, creating nature-inspired arts and crafts, and exploring the wonders of gardening.

Our first Club meeting is Saturday, June 6 at 6PM at the Celo Faucette Community Garden (817 Sharpe Road).

This program is FREE for ages 5 to 14. Families are encouraged to participate together!

Preregistration is required. Register at the link in our bio or online at https://www.burlingtonnc.gov/2927/Programs-for-Young-Children.

Our Sprouts program is designed for children ages 2-5 and their caregivers to learn about the natural world through play, stories, crafts, songs, and hands-on discovery. Each class is led by a certified Environmental Educator who helps spark curiosity and a love for nature.

Classes are offered on Thursdays at 9:30 AM and 10:45 AM. Caregivers attend free, but registration is required for each class.

Locations vary throughout the summer and each class is $5. Space is limited, and classes are expected to fill quickly.

As Older Americans Month comes to a close, we’re celebrating the many ways older adults stay active and connected through programs at Kernodle Senior Center.

Today, we enjoyed hearing the Cool Hand Yukes practice in the Daphne Fragrance Garden, a great reminder of the joy that music and friendship bring to our community.

Thank you to the participants, volunteers, and staff who make Kernodle such a vibrant place to learn, grow, and have fun.
