DGC Sprouts is our 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:

August 27, 2025

5-6 pm Sprouts Learning Garden Tours

6-7pm Permaculture Presentation

Applying Permaculture to Food Systems and the Community

Our guest, Annamaria Varona Leon, has experience and expertise with permaculture as well as creating local food sources for those in need in the community. She will explain the food cycle in our country and the goodness that comes from more sustainable local and farm sized agriculture.  We’ll also discuss the connection to community that we are creating here in the Sprouts Learning Garden.

The Sprouts Learning Garden practices sustainability by recycling resources in eco-conscious ways. We are growing food and pollinator friendly flowers while prioritizing soil health and regenerative practices which heal our earth and our bodies. Please come early to tour the garden with DGC Sprouts members.  These youngsters have their hand in every step of the process that produces over 300 pounds of produce annually, much of which is shared with the community.
