🌼 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.

Important Details:

  • Location: Main Office @ 150 O’Carroll Ave

  • Drop-Off Instructions: Parents should park in the lower parking lot and proceed to the side entrance labeled “Autism Services”

Please Note: This group is for children aged 6-12 with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) who are registered with the Ontario Autism Program (OAP). Limited spots available! This group can accommodate a maximum of 6 participants, ensuring a personalized and engaging experience.

🌱 Sign up today and dig into fun while growing new friendships! 🌼🤝
