🌱 BIG THINGS ARE GROWING FOR KIDS AT THE ROOT 66 GARDEN! 🌱

We have several great programs for kids to get outside, get their hands dirty, learn about nature, and have a little fun along the way!

🌻 Kids Korner
A hands on garden space where kids can explore, plant flowers, create art, enjoy nature, and let their imaginations run wild. From our Banana Creek barefoot walk to kid created art installations, there is always something to discover!

🌿 Root 66 Rangers
Our program for kids ages 6 to 12 combines gardening, nature, hands on learning, and outdoor adventures. It's a great way for kids to learn where their food comes from while making friends and building a connection with the natural world.

🦋 Wild Byte Junior Ecologist Program
An opportunity for young nature lovers to explore ecology, discover how ecosystems work, and learn more about the plants, animals, and environment around them.

At The Root 66 Garden, learning doesn't have to happen inside a classroom! We believe getting kids outdoors, giving them room to explore, and letting them learn by doing makes a difference.

Obviously, Leonard never got the memo on what it means to be a feral cat. 😂❤️

This beautiful, friendly boy didn’t have a home, but now he does! He comes to our workshops, greets everyone who visits the garden, and makes sure nobody leaves without a little Leonard love.

Everyone loves Leonard, and honestly, we think he’s pretty happy with his home at The Root 66 Garden. Thanks Priceless Pets | Animal Shelter & Rescue 🐈🌱
