Covington’s Kids in the Garden Workshops
Kids classes are designed as hands-on workshops for ages 5 to 10. There is a minimal fee of $5 per class to cover the cost of supplies; and pre-registration and pre-payment are required since space is limited. Sign up and pay in our store or call 972-475-5888 Ext. 2. For refunds, cancellations must be received by 4 p.m. Thursday prior to class so we can fill the space with another child. Kids must be accompanied by an adult.
