At the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, education is central to our mission. From toddlers discovering nature through Little Sprouts to adults learning sustainable gardening techniques, we offer enriching programs for learners ages 3 to 5 – all designed to inspire a lifelong connection to the natural world.

About

Little Sprouts is a nature-based program designed specifically for children aged 3-5 that helps develop their appreciation and understanding of the natural world. Each session includes story time, songs, and fun nature-themed crafts and activities. From planting seeds to spotting bees, harvesting veggies, and exploring the Garden with handmade binoculars, every session sparks curiosity and a love for nature!

Little Sprouts registration is first come, first served, and space is limited so that we can maintain small groups and provide the highest quality programming for our participants. We encourage families to register early to secure their spot.

To help ensure spots are available for families who are able to attend regularly, participants who miss three Little Sprouts sessions without attending will forfeit their spot in the program. This allows us to offer the space to another family who is on the waitlist. Thank you for helping us keep the program running smoothly!
