We love having little ones at the nursery — there’s nothing better than watching a new generation grow up surrounded by trees, soil, and ladybugs! Join us for Story Time in the Garden, a special event designed for children ages 4-10. The Youth Services Librarian, Katie from the Hayden Community Library will lead story time under the trees, followed by snacks and a sweet garden-themed gift for each child, courtesy of New Leaf Nursery.
This session will be extra special! On Tuesday, August 13, we’ll be joined by Susan Burke of Wings Rising, a local nonprofit dedicated to sustaining the growth of monarch butterflies here in North Idaho. Susan will share fascinating facts about these vital pollinators — and best of all — we’ll witness the release of live monarch butterflies into the garden!
It’s a magical experience for young nature lovers and the young at heart. We encourage you to invite friends and family to join in the wonder. As a thank-you to our Lil’ Sprouts Garden Club, children in attendance will also receive a limited-edition Monarch sticker to take home.
Susan will also have small milkweed plants available for purchase at the nursery after the release—these are a favorite of monarch butterflies. Just imagine welcoming these stunning pollinators into your own garden!
PLEASE NOTE: This is a FREE event, but we kindly ask that you register below with the number of attendees in your party. Your RSVP helps us plan and prepare to ensure a fun and successful experience for everyone!
