This is a very informal setting. Some kids will be watering on their own while others will be asking questions and some really like to weed! It's so fun to watch them explore plants, worms, bugs, and emerging vegetables. If the wee ones are not your cup of tea, assistance is needed throughout the week to water the gardens. You can sign up for certain days or commit to a garden.
