Foundational Family Services - In-Person
🌼 Children’s Gardening Day (Ages 6–12)
Children ages 6–12 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are invited to join us for a fun, free gardening event in a safe, supportive, and sensory-friendly environment. This hands-on experience encourages children to explore nature, express creativity, and build friendships at their own pace.
🌱 What Children Will Do
Plant flowers, herbs, or vegetables
Dig in the soil and water plants
🎨 Decorate a flower pot to take home
Enjoy nature-themed crafts and games
Explore different plants, textures, and scents in a guided, sensory-friendly way
💚 Why This Event Matters
This event is designed to help children:
Build confidence and independence
Practice social and communication skills
Engage in shared activities with peers
Learn through play in a relaxed, welcoming space
Our trained staff will be available throughout the event to offer support and ensure every child can participate in a way that feels comfortable and enjoyable for them.
🌿 No gardening experience is needed—just bring curiosity and a readiness to have fun! Children will leave with their own plant creation and memories of a joyful day spent planting, creating, and growing new friendships.
