Since then\, it has grown into something so special—a joyful place where families can play\, learn\, and make lasting memories together. \nMy hope is that through Little Acorns\, you and your children will experience the magic of the outdoors\, the wonder of seasonal stories\, songs\, and crafts\, and the warmth of meaningful friendships—all in the beautiful setting of the San Luis Obispo Botanical Garden. \nI’m so glad you’re here\, and I can’t wait to explore alongside you! \n—— \nEmma Fay \n \nI’m mama to Auri (2) and stepmom to Cy (15). I love yoga\, dancing\, and singing silly songs. I work as a coordinator for CAPSLO Teen Wellness programs. \nI grew up brewing berry potions\, jumping into leaf piles\, and swimming in the sea—and I still happily dunk into any body of water\, no matter how cold. Getting outside is my go-to parenting cure-all. \nI’m so excited and honored to be co-facilitating Little Acorns this season and can’t wait to spend time with you and your little ones in the garden. \n \nWe are thrilled to have Molly & Emma at the garden! Please email: faith@slobg.org with any questions.  \nWe look forward to seeing you in the Garden!

I love being outdoors and seeing the world through children’s eyes. I spent much of my son’s childhood exploring nature alongside him. And I have run a local nonprofit’s nature immersion program for young children (with plenty of support for their social-emotional growth and sensory needs) for several years. \nA few fun facts about me: I think sunsets are magical\, snails are my favorite animals\, the beach and the desert are my happy places\, and wildflower patches are where I happily lose track of time. I love backyard birding\, gardening\, and admiring red-tailed hawks soaring high overhead. \nI can’t wait to explore alongside your little ones—whether we’re searching for bugs\, listening to birds\, or noticing the plants and flowers around us. Let’s slow down\, get curious\, and have fun connecting! \n \nPlease email: faith@slobg.org with any questions. We look forward to seeing you in the Garden!
