Registration Open for Ridgewood's Green Kids Program

Registration is now open for the Spring 2015 sessions of Green Kids, an after-school educational program that enables children in grades 3 through 5 to experience nature through hands-on projects.

Sponsored by Ridgewood Parks and Recreation and the Women Gardeners of Ridgewood, the five Green Kids programs will teach children about hummingbirds, have them create individual salad gardens, taste fresh local honey, plant native plants in the Butterfly Garden and create sunflower bird feeders.

Green Kids will be held on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at The Stable on Maple Avenue in Ridgewood from April 15 through May 13.

To register, visit www.ridgewoodnj.net/communitypass or call 201-670-5560. The cost for all five workshops is $50 for Ridgewood residents and $60 for nonresidents. Space is limited.
