Callie’s Kids – Free Gardening Workshops at Calloway’s

Wednesdays, 9:30am (see dates below)

All Calloway’s Stores
Cost: Free (register beforehand)
Exclusively for kids, enjoy a summer adventure into the garden with the family. Visit any of our garden centers the first or third Wednesday in June, July and August at 9:30.
Children will learn how to recycle and reuse household items, so start saving your tin cans, cardboard rolls and egg cartons today! Then, come in to any Calloway’s or Cornelius Nursery location so you can plant, color, learn and explore plants and nature with one of our garden experts. Mark your calendars for these summer events!
Callie’s Kids is designed for children 5 to 12 years of age. Space is limited. Parent supervision and assistance is required. No more than three children per adult, please. Large groups should call and arrange a separate session at a later time. Each session lasts 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Classes are offered at all Calloway’s and Cornelius Nursery locations. Classes are filled first-come, first-served. Complete the online registration form to secure your spot!
