Raab Park Learning Garden – 2025 Children’s Program
July 21, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
This summer join WSU Master Gardeners for fun in the garden at Raab Park Learning Garden. Plant, water, search, explore and harvest. Learn about bugs, composting veggies, and create a garden related craft to take home!
Activities are designed for preschool and elementary school-age youth. One or more adult must accompany each group of up to four children with a suggested $0.25 cents donation per child.
We welcome your participation! The purpose of this garden is to involve children, families, and the public in learning about sustainable gardening. In addition to crafts, learning and fun, the food harvested by the children and adults goes to the Fishline Food Bank in Poulsbo. The 2024 harvest resulted in over 1,700 pounds donated.
Dates/Times: See below for individual event dates and themes. The children’s programming happens every Monday starting June 23rd through July 28th from 10am – 12pm.
Location: Raab Park Learning Garden – Northeast corner of Raab Park, 18349 Caldart Ave NE, in Poulsbo
