Groups of children engage all their senses through exploration and hands on activities in the Seattle Tilth Children's Garden.

We taste herbs and flowers, touch the soft and the prickly, forage in the soil to discover compost critters and allow children to find the unexpected delights of gardening.

All tours begin with an introductory activity and two or three other garden "stations." Children learn and practice important garden activities such as making compost, planting, tending and harvesting crops, collecting seeds and other seasonal activities. Visit once or make a series of visits to build on gardening and environmental concepts.

WHEN: Tours run Tues - Friday at 10 am and 1 pm.
September 18 - November 2, 2007
March 11 - June 6, 2008.

COST: $4.50 per child / $75.00 minimum. Reservations are now being made for Fall 07 Spring 2008. Spaces fill quickly so call soon to reserve a tour date.
