A New Year of Creativity is Growing
in the OCAC Children's Garden!
Our newest programming for The Children’s Garden is yearlong series of hands-on, family-friendly experiences designed to connect art, culture, and nature.
Developed in partnership with the Culture Crops program designed by the Richard and Carole Cox Art Museum at Miami University and the Myaamia Center, the program draws inspiration from seasonal cycles and garden-based learning. Each month features a different activity, encouraging curiosity, creativity, and connection through art-making, storytelling, and interactive exploration.
Programs evolve throughout the year, offering fresh ways for children and families to engage with shared themes of community and the natural world.
Friday, August 14: Garden-to-Table Workshop
FREE Activity, Registration Required
Families see how simple fresh ingredients from the garden can become tasty snacks as kids help assemble herb butter or spread, colorful veggie wraps, and a basic salsa or garden dip. Participants learn about kitchen safety, taste new flavors, and explore flexible recipes that can be adapted at home based on what is growing in their own gardens or available at local markets.
Culture Crop Activity: Kids co-create a "favorite garden foods" chart to reflect different cultural dishes and ingredients.
Ages: 6 - 13
Dates: Second Fridays from 6-8 PM
Location: Oxford Community Arts Center
Cost: FREE
Culture Crops is funded by a grant from the Greater Oxford Community Foundation
