Sprouts

Welcome Sprouts Members & Guests!

We are growing in an exciting way!

DGC Sprouts is our New Garden Club for Children and Families

Just Like Our Adult DGC Club…

No Residency Required!

This initiative will help inspire and engage a new generation of gardeners by way of Regular Meetings, Gardening 101 Lessons, and Child Friendly Activities both at home and in community gardens. Sprouts will deliver the garden club’s mission to the littlest green thumbs and we look forward to partnering with local groups and organizations to expand gardening in our community.

Sprouts Mission Statement

Darien Garden Club’s Sprouts program delivers our club’s mission to children and families interested in learning about gardening and horticulture. We emphasize hands-on, child-friendly lessons and activities for home and community gardening. Our purpose is to inspire and engage a new generation of gardeners.

The Next DGC Sprouts Monthly Meeting Is:

March 26, 2025 - 6-7pm

Seed Starting 101

Local educator, gardening enthusiast and DGC Sprout parent, Katie Brazee will share just how she starts hundreds of seeds for her family’s garden every year! We will explore everything you need to know to get your garden started this season. 

We’ll also start the Sprouts Learning Garden growing season by sowing sweet peas in the garden!
