Parking is not included with the registration fee.
Dates: Wednesdays: February 25, March 4, March 18, March 25, and April 1, 2026
(Little Sprouts will not meet on March 11 due to Spring Break)
Time: Classes will begin at 9:00 am each week, and will last between 1-1.5 hours

Registration will open on Tuesday, January 20, 2026 for the Spring 2026 Little Sprouts Club!

Bugs -n- Blooms Camp
Hosted by The Junior Master Gardener Program and The Gardens at Texas A&M University! This exciting camp is perfect for learners who are curious about the wonderful world of garden insects. Throughout the camp, participants will:
- Discover the interconnectedness of insects and plants through hands-on activities and guided explorations around The Gardens.
- Learn about different types of insects and plants, their lifecycles, and the important roles they both play in our ecosystem.

This half-day camp is a fantastic opportunity for kids to connect with nature, make new friends, and develop a lifelong love for the environment. More to come for Summer 2026!
