After years of requests, we are thrilled to open our Youth Farm Program to the entire greater Fredericksburg area in 2023! We will still offer slots free-of-charge to our neighbors, but we've added a limited number of fee-based slots so more kids in our community can join the fun. Young gardeners will have fun planting, making and tasting a variety of vegetables, fruits and herbs throughout a 3-month season in the Downtown Greens educational garden. They will join us on either Tuesdays or Thursdays (based on availability), from 4:30pm-6pm . Only $165 for either season (13 classes) for rising 3rd-5th graders. Sign up for both seasons -- six months total -- for $310 (A $20 savings!) |
