    • Talls & Smalls
    Join us for this month’s Talls and Smalls adventure in the garden! Spend time exploring with your little (ages 2-5) by using your five senses together. See what vegetables look like while growing, taste the fruits, smell the herbs, listen to the sounds of wildlife, and of course, feel the dirt in your hands. We can’t wait to see you then! This class is funded in part by First 5 San Diego.
