Farmingville, NY – The Holtsville Ecology Site & Animal Preserve is preparing for spring with a series of gardening classes announced by Brookhaven Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro. The classes cater to both children and adults and will commence in April.
Dan Losquadro highlighted the educational value of these sessions: “In addition to being a great value, these classes are a fun and educational way to welcome spring. Children will learn about the environment, animals, and plants through crafts and stories, while adult participants will learn how to start plants through propagation and create backyard flower arrangements.”
The five-week courses are priced at $50 each. Adult horticulture classes are scheduled for Thursdays from 10 a.m. until noon on April 3, 10, 24, and May 1 and 8. Pee-wee gardening classes, designed for children aged three to five, offer two session options: Tuesdays on April 1, 8, 22, 29, and May 6 or Wednesdays on April 2, 9, 23, 30, and May 7. Both children's sessions run from either 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. or from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m.
