Come Grow with Us,
May through August
The Master Gardener Association of Cape Cod operates a seasonal Children's Garden at the Brewster Community Garden off Route 6A. This free, hands-on program offers children ages 8-12 the opportunity to grow their own raised bed garden for the season with the one-on-one assistance of a Master Gardener mentor.
Children and mentors gather in the garden weekly from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. The program is offered on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with one group coming to the garden each week on Tuesdays and the other group on Thursdays.
Weekly sessions typically include a group lesson on a variety of gardening topics, followed by time in the garden with a mentor applying what was learned, tending to the garden, and harvesting crops to take home.
Our program begins in May with the children preparing and planning their raised beds. Seeds and plants are made available throughout the season as planting time varies. The Children's Garden wraps up in late August.
