Callie’s Kids - Free Gardening Events

Throughout the year little gardeners ages 5 to 10 can join us for free children's events and learn more about nature and gardening. Enjoy a fun and playful event at our garden centers. Kids take a completed project home with them. Read complete details about each children's event using the links below. Receive notices of these events, join the MyTexasGarden Club.

Invite friends and neighbors for a playdate outing both adults and children will enjoy.  Share this page using the Facebook button below.  The more the merrier!

Small group notice: So we can best accommodate all our customers, large and small, an adult should accompany no more than three children to the event.  If you are with a large group, please complete and submit our Special School Tour Form for consideration for a special group tour. We will start scheduling school tours after June 1, 2013.

Check out all the children having fun at Cornelius Nursery on the Kids & Gardening segment featured on the LiveWell Network.
