At Bauer’s, we believe all children should have the opportunity to see the beauty of a garden, gain basic science knowledge, experience growing mistakes, and taste garden-fresh produce!  Bring your little ones (ages 3-10) and join us for one, or all, of our Bauer’s Busy Bees events.

The Spring 2020 series will run from March 7 – June 20 each Saturday from 9-11am {open house style}.  Various garden themed projects will be held each week.  Cost is 5.00/per child all supplies are provided for each project.  All projects within the Spring Series are held at Bauer’s Market & Garden Center, rain {sleet or snow} or shine.  Please dress your children appropriately for inclement weather and the potential to get dirty or messy.

REGISTRATION: while we don’t require registration to participate, it does help us plan ahead.  To make sure we have enough supplies for all children that are interested, please visit the shop section of our website or simply click the name of the event below to register & prepay online.  Once supplies are gone for that project, we, unfortunately, cannot do any additional projects for the day; prepayment for your children for a specific event reserves supplies for them on that date.

2020 Spring Series:
March 7: Painted Pottery
Kids will showcase their artistic side and paint their own pottery – the end result could even be used with future Busy Bee workshops too.  Add a personalized note and set by the front door with cheery annuals {once weather permits}, use for herb windowsill gardening, add butterflies and use in your pollinator garden, whatever you want – the possibilities are endless.

March 14: Lucky Leprechauns
To celebrate St Patrick’s Day, kids will color a cut flower and watch as it turns green.  Kaitlyn, Bauer’s Busy Bees host, will teach kids how flowers take in water.  Kids will each take home a carnation to watch the process in action!
