The Young Sprouts Gardening program gives children ages 3 to 5 a chance to try their hand at gardening in Battery Park City's Rockefeller Park.

The weekly lesson also teaches kids about the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy's organic gardening program.

The event occurs every Thursday from 3 to 3:45 p.m. Space is limited, so it's first come, first served. Children must be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
