If this is of interest to you\, please email: faith@slobg.org. \nAbout Your Instructors:  \nMolly Paulick \n \nI’m a local artist and mom to James (5)\, Rosie (2)\, and a baby on the way due in August. \nI started Little Acorns when James was 18 months old as a way for us to explore the outdoors together while meeting other families who wanted to slow down\, connect with nature\, and build community. 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!

We’re thrilled to have her at the Garden! \nAbout Your Instructor: \n \nHi\, I’m Dina! \nI’m so excited to be leading a new session of Little Acorns! 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!

Tickets are NON-refundable.  Please review the following before purchasing tickets: \n\nALL attendees over 3 years of age must have TWO items to enter:  1) a ticket and 2) a whole cake (that meets the rules).   Absolutely no exceptions (and no refunds).  Children under 3 may attend for free\, but are not allowed in the cake-cutting area.\nNo pets (except service animals).\n\nCake Rules (again\, no exceptions!)\n– Cakes must be at least 8” in diameter and 3” high.\n– Cakes can be any flavor or style.|\n–  Dress (your cake) to impress.  Bake (or buy) us your best.  This is your chance to show off your best baking and decorating skills.  We love a Costco cake as much as the next person\, but this is not the time for that.|\n–  Bring a card or a sign listing your cake’s ingredients.  If your cake has or doesn’t have allergens (gluten\, nuts\, dairy\, eggs) – let us know that too.\n–  Cakes should be on a board\, plate\, or stand (no pans or trays). Bring your own server. Make sure everything is labeled!! \nEvent Rules:\n–  Cakes should be in place by 10:45 am\n–  There will be 15 minutes for cake viewing and picture taking before cake-cutting chaos ensues.\n–  Everyone gets a randomly assigned wristband at check-in.  When cake-cutting time starts\, we’ll pull a color at random\, and that group will have 5 minutes to get cake!!! We’ll keep going until all groups have had a turn. Cake permitting\, you will be allowed one re-entry after all groups have had a turn. If there is cake remaining — we’ll let people return.\n– Cake chaos will begin at 11:15 am (ish!). \nMore Info:\nWe’ll have tables and chairs set up on the terraces and picnic tables throughout the garden. You are also welcome to bring your own blankets and choose a spot!\nYou can bring water bottles\, small coolers\, and/or picnic baskets. Outside alcohol is not permitted.\nWe’ll have beverages for sale\, including the Garden’s signature Lavender Lemonade\, Iced Tea\, and Mimosas!
