I thought I would take a break from our little mini-series on the eight principles employed in the design and activities of Hershey Children’s Garden to shamelessly plug Cleveland Botanical Garden’s new program series, BotaniCool School.

Through BotaniCool School programs, we want the world of the Garden to come alive as children discover the many wonders found in nature. Each program weaves stories, hands on experiences and make-and-take activities into a first-rate event for youth and family.

Starting this Saturday, March 29, parents and their Little Buds (ages 3-5) learn their letters and numbers through their encounters with various garden spaces. Families can sign up for a single class or the entire three class series. Then, this summer, look for a Barnyard Bash for Little Buds, and three separate programs for Big Sprouts (ages 6 and up). Big Sprouts can look forward to a really fun list of programs, including:

• A Plant Safari 
• Apples, Bananas and Carrots oh my!
• The Journey of Your Dinner

Stay tuned for further details coming soon!!!
