About the Program: 

Sproutside is the Flint Children's Museum's outdoor area which features an organic garden. The children who visit the museum help to plant, tend, and harvest the produce. We grow a variety of foods so that children gain exposure to all sorts of things such as okra, brussel sprouts, cabbage, and eggplants. Families are welcome to taste any of the produce, and to take vegetables home to enjoy. We use the garden for many educational opportunities such as teaching about important vitamins and healthy eating habits.
