Austin Hy-Vee is proud to start its second season of the Sprouts - Get Out and Grow Garden and Cooking Program for kids! Developed and created by Jen Haugen, registered dietitian at Austin Hy-Vee who has a passion for teaching children and families the connection of fresh food to good health, the Sprouts Program aims to increase intake of fruits and vegetables, reinforce positive perceptions of healthier food and teach healthier preparation methods all while learning how food grows in the garden. Hands-on gardening is the perfect way for kids to get out and grow! Kids will have the opportunity to dig, plant, grow and harvest fresh vegetables in the garden and learn about the value of health in fun and interactive ways. Classes combine fun in the garden with students learning more about what they grow AND how to cook it. Children under 6 years of age may attend but MUST be accompanied by an adult. All classes will be held in the Austin Hy-Vee Sprouts garden located at the front of the store near the Garden Center.
Cost: $10 per child
Ages: 3 to 11 years old
