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.

Learning Garden Planting Day
& Pizza Party 2025
Join in the fun as DGC Sprouts youth club children and their families plant the vegetable and flower gardens at St. John Learning Garden. We will be adding seeds and small plants at the St. John Learning Garden, and watering them in. You will also go home with plants and seeds to start your very own home gardens.
Registration is required to attend the planting day. Please reserve one ticket for each family that will be attending & eating so that we can plan for the pizza and the seedling, plant, and seed giveaways.
