Gardening club will bloom for kids




Calling all 5 to 8 year olds: become a "Garden Sprout" at the Arboretum of Los Angeles County.


Now kids can have their very own garden at the Arboretum, not to mention a whole lot of fun in the dirt. The Saturday Kids’ Gardening Club teaches kids how to care for a garden plus much more.


Highlights include dirt and worm day, creating pansy note cards, building birdhouses, creating their own terrarium, planting a vegetable garden, making flower treats to eat and finally celebrating their gardening success with a harvest party.


The Kids’ Gardening Club will meet from 9 to 11 a.m. the first Saturday of each month from Oct. through June at the Roots and Shoots Garden.


The fall quarter dates are: Oct. 6, Nov. 3 and Dec. 1; the winter dates are Jan. 5, Feb. 2 and March 2; and the spring dates are April 6, May 4 and June 1.


The cost for members is $25/quarter or $10/Saturday; non-members $30/quarter or $12/Saturday.


Reservations are required.


To register, please call Jill Berry at (626) 821-4624.


The Arboretum, a 127-acre botanical garden and historical site, is at 301 N. Baldwin Ave., Arcadia.
