Our Kids & Families
Garden Groove welcomes children of all ages and abilities, with experiences intentionally designed to support neurodivergent kids and their families. We embrace different ways of learning, communicating, exploring, and connecting, while creating opportunities for siblings and families to participate together.
Older kids and teens are welcome to participate, volunteer, and help guide younger children — building confidence, connection, and community across ages.
