In support of Earth Day & Arbor Day, our nonprofit organization DFOWW Incorporated will be hosting our Kids and Parents Gardening nutrition workshop on Saturday April 5, 2025, from 10:30am - 3:30pm at the Norcross Cultural Arts and Community Center. During this horticulture workshop, both kids and their parents or guardian will learn the art of basic gardening. It's important that both children and adults understand how food is grown.
This workshop includes basic gardening for youth ages 5 to 12 and includes container gardening, planting vegetables, and learning about the life cycle of plants. Many people believe salt and pepper add flavor to food; however, herbs and spices provide food with flavor. Herbs and spices are also better for your heart health than salt and sugar.
Courtesy of our partners Lowes Home Improvement, we will be providing all the seeds, fruit and vegetable plants, herbs, and spice plants to the workshop participants. And yes, all the vegetable, fruit, herb, and spice plants are yours to keep. Representatives from Lowes Home Improvement will be in attendance offering gardening tips to children and their parents. This workshop is going to be fun for both kids and their parents, and a bit messy with all the different types of soil we will be using.
During lunch break at 12noon, we will be serving free catered lunch from Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant to all attendees. We will be serving different menu items to include chicken dishes. Vegetarian meal options will also be available.
During the lunch break we will also be hosting a plant fundraising sale. We will have a variety of perennials and other indoor and outdoor plants to decorate your garden. Perennials are very popular for growers because they are low maintenance and return year after year.
Space is limited, so we encourage you to reserve your seat today by completing the registration form and paying the $10 fee (Low-income families) which includes all the supplies, materials, and free catered lunch. Spread the word and get ready for a day of fun learning and good food!
