Garden Tots Classes
Come spend time in the garden with your little one. We will have story time, sing, dance, look for bugs, dig in the soil, enjoy water play, sensory activities, explore the gardens and greenhouse, and enjoy a morning snack. Garden Tots is designed for children between one and two years of age, will cost $10 per day and will take place from 8:30am-9:30am. Check back soon for our class schedule for 2018!

Jack and the Beanstalk
Calling all parents of pre-school aged children! Join us to explore the "magic" of Jack and the Beanstalk. Your children will enjoy story time, lean about the "magic" of how bean seeds grow, help build Jack's Beanstalk in our new Children's Garden and enjoy a morning snack. Check back soon for our class schedule for 2018!

After-School Garden Clubs

More information will be coming soon, so stay tuned.
Children's Sensory Garden
This summer, the Wyoming Food for Thought Project is building a children's sensory garden at our Program Center and Urban Farm. We are extremely excited about this garden, as it is where our Garden Tots and Jack and the Beanstalk classes will take place, and will introduce children of any age to plants with different textures, smells, sounds and tastes.
More updates and information will be coming soon, but in the meantime, volunteers are welcome to help construct the garden, and donations are graciously accepted.
Horticulture Therapy
Horticulture Therapy is something we will soon be working towards offering here at Wyoming Food for Thought Project. We are excited about this unique form of therapy, and look forward to providing you with updates soon, so stay tuned!
