LOVE FROM OUR COMMUNITY

I signed up my 3.5 year old for a fun class with The Nurtured Seedling and she came home and talked nonstop about plants and bugs. I love the efforts Flavia and Darina put into this new venture. The space is geared towards safe learning. It is peaceful and a wonderful way to introduce little ones into the world of planting, growing, nurturing, and everything it encompasses.”

This class is like walking into a magic garden where the kids learn, create, and have fun. Flavia and Darina are masters at provoking wonder, creating a relationship with nature and making the little details about gardening accessible and exciting for little kids.

Highly recommend!!! I took a class and was blown away at how much I learned, how organized it was, how peaceful the environment was and loved the overall experience. They even served mimosas and some amazing healthy snacks. I look forward to taking so many more classes. The adult and kids classes are incredible and a blast.

My active five year old loved his gardening class at The Nurtured Seedling! He enjoyed being outdoors and also responded well to the organized and engaging curriculum. We can't wait for his next class session.

I love The Nurtured Seedling! This woman owned and operated business is a beautiful and magical place! I attended a holiday cookie workshop in December and had so much fun! My 4.5 yr old has just started a gardening workshop and there has been a yoga class for the moms at the same time. Genius!!

The Nurtured Seedling is my daughter's happy place. She took a kids gardening class and just loved it. When her 8th birthday rolled around, there was no hesitation - this is where she wanted to have her party. It was wonderful. We signed her up for the fairy theme. Each kid got to make their own fairy garden and take it home. They also had cute theme snacks and decorations. They really thought of everything. It was the easiest birthday party we have ever had - we literally just had to show up! It was also the most fun. Even with drizzly weather, they just put up some rain tents over the garden and the kids had a blast!

Excellent experience. My son loved it! He's 5 years old, and he liked his first gardening classes so much that he practically begged me to sign up for the next sessions. The classes gave my son a strong familiarity with how plants grow, how animals contribute (worms, butterflies, bees, birds), and how he can help this life cycle. The instructors are great at using small projects and storybooks to keep the kids engage. After each class, my son seemed to be overflowing with new information that he was gushing to tell me about. My son attended 8 classes, and he now has a beautiful interest in nature.

We had such a lovely time. Thank you so much for your hospitality and flexibility. The extra hour gave us some much needed quality time with family members who we don’t often see. We really appreciated that! Wishing you the best and take care!

What a beautiful, relaxing, lovely spot for a workshop! The nurtured seedling really puts a lot of time, care and love into these events and it definitely shows! I just attended a skincare workshop and it was so nice to enjoy a day of self care in this lovely location. The owners, Darina and Flavia are wonderful, they bring in women owned businesses to provide these workshops to the community, and you can tell they are really focused on providing a wonderful experience for their attendees. I'd highly recommend attending one of their workshops or gardening classes for the kiddos!

Had the utmost pleasure to join the women of The Nurtured Seedling for a morning of reset before we head into the Fall. It was a beautiful day to connect with other women and reset for the Fall months ahead.

What a joy! The grounds of this home are lovely and the proprietors Flavia & Darina really have thought out Covid and doing everything outside and safe! There's a beautiful garden here and the setting is lovely. Everyone was so friendly and they are bringing in local business women to run a series of classes. A local florist ran the wreath making which was great fun! She used all these natural plants forged from the mountains to the sea and all over the neighborhood! A light snack was served along with some fresh bubbly or mimosas, a nice touch to a lovely event. I sure hope they do it next year, I would attend in a heartbeat! I liked it so much that I signed up for their cookie making seminar two weeks later with a local baker that was also outside it was just great. I've been making cookies for years and I seriously walked away with completely new tricks and things I never knew before about decorating Sugar cookies(which tasted great by the way she uses all organic ingredients and sometimes those cookies can taste funny but not these). I highly recommend looking into this small business and all the wonderful classes they are offering. If you are into supporting local, like I am, or you want get a group of people together to do something fun, check Them out, I highly recommend!

“Darina and Flavia are a joy! Their classes are age appropriate, creative and fun. Both of my daughters and their friends have had the opportunity to attend different series offered and we cant wait for more! Such a blessing to have a business like this for our kiddos and friends. Keep it up! We love you ladies!”

"We worked with Darina and Flavia to host our daughter's 5th birthday party at the Nurtured Seedling and if I could give 10 stars, I would. They have created such a beautiful space, thoughtfully planned every detail of the party, and were great to work with from planning to execution. From the fairy garden and magic potion activities, to the adorable tent and blanket set-up, to the delicious and beautiful food, everything exceeded my expectations. All of our friends commented on how it was such a lovely, unique party and how their kids were talking about fairies and magic for days. And I truly did nothing outside of sending an invite--they took care of the rest. It was A+ and highly recommend."

"We've done 2 of the Littlest Gardeners classes on Saturdays and my 3yo daughter absolutely loves them. Darina and Flavia have created such a warm environment and the activities are age appropriate and cute. My daughter is currently nurturing her sugar snap pea sprouts and planning her planting for tomorrow!"

"Went to a littlest gardeners class on a play date with my 4 yo daughter and her 5 yo friend. They had an absolutely fabulous time doing arts and crafts and also learning about the garden and planting seeds. It started pouring rain and they had to pivot as we were all outside but it didn't affect the kids enjoyment of the class at all. The girls loved their snack and loved all the stuff they got to take home. Would definitely do this again with my daughter!"
