Girard Children’s Garden Open Time is Wednesdays + Fridays, 4-6pm. This is our oldest Community Green Space. Built in 2008, this site is where our team developed much of our kid-driven programming, recipes, and garden design. This space is now one of four Community Green Spaces we manage. It serves as a space for free Open Time programming, service-learning opportunities, community celebrations, and so much more! Girard demonstrates our unique style as an organization by prioritizing natural exploration areas, kid-friendly plants, and lots of creativity, inspired by the local community.

Open Times are scheduled sessions at our Community Green Spaces that include FREE staff-led activities for children, families, neighbors, volunteers, and anyone who wants to drop by. Open Times are a chance for visitors of all ages to experience the garden through a variety of activities, such as cooking, art, and maintenance. Anyone who comes to lend a hand is welcome to take home some garden goodies as part of our “you help, you harvest” policy. Open Times occur four days a week between April and October and are rain or shine as long as there is no inclement weather, including heavy rain or temperatures over 100 degrees. No RSVP required for groups of five or fewer.
