Callie’s Kids - Free Gardening Events Throughout The Summer


With school nearly out for the summer, we're filling our calendar with camp and play dates.  You may want to add these to your calendar.  I'll remind you of each event as we get closer!
Little gardeners ages 5 to 10 can head to Calloway's Nurserys throughout North Texas 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. Some events require registration. All events are free of charge, while supplies last!
Callie's Kids Schedule for 2013:

June 19, 2013 - 9:30 a.m. - 10: 30 a.m. 
Callie's Story Corner
School’s out, but the learning continues! Visit any Calloway’s or Cornelius Nursery garden center to take part in the first of three summer series gardening activities. During Callie's Kids June session, children will hear a story read by one of our very own gardeners. Then, they can take part in a fun seed-planting activity. Come on out - hear a good read and plant a seed or two! Fun for all little gardeners!

July 17, 2013 - 9:30 a.m. - 10:30 a.m. 
Tin Can Planting 
Recycling is good, and tin cans make nifty plant containers. Accompanied by a parent, children can pot a tomato seed and learn more about the edible tomato plant. Children are encouraged to bring their own empty, clean tin can. Join us at the garden center for this easy, fun and educational gardening event.

August 21, 2013 - 9:30 a.m. - 10: 30 a.m.  
Bowl Bouquets 
Summer break is coming to a close, and school will be back in session soon. Don't miss the last Callie's Kids event of the season. Visit any Calloway’s or Cornelius Nursery garden center to get in on the action! We're serving up deep-dish sized fun! Parents and guardians - bring your little gardeners into the nursery so they may participate in creating a beautiful bowl bouquet. Bowls and grass seeds will be provided for the base, and then children can create their own craft flowers to decorate the bowl and accent the grass!
