Seedlings: Three Cheers for Evergreens turns tree exploration into art
Here, evergreen trees are both the subject of the plant exploration and the source of material for a take-home artwork. Seedlings: Three Cheers for Evergreens pairs those activities in a 45-minute class for young children.
From evergreen study to bough art
The Gardens describes the class as a chance to explore trees that stay green through the year, then use evergreen boughs to make art to take home. That connection between a plant and the material used in a project gives the activity a specific focus beyond a general craft session.

A short session with indoor and outdoor time
Seedlings is the Gardens’ hands-on program for young children learning about plants and their importance. Its broader format includes stories, nature walks and art projects; this class listing highlights evergreen exploration and bough-based art.
The 45-minute sessions have both indoor and outdoor components. Families should plan for time in each setting.

Because the policy is tied to those hours, check with the Gardens if you are relying on the garage for an early class. Street parking is available in Cheesman Park or Congress Park where posted; read signs for restrictions. Vans should use the garage’s top deck because of height limits, and RVs are not permitted in the complex.
