We hired Little Saplings for my daughters 3rd birthday and had the best experience! Ruth and her assistant had the kids completely captivated for a solid hour which gave all the parents a chance to relax and socialize. The kids loved the books, the worms, the dirt, and each came away with a beautifully decorated potted plant to take home as a party favor. The program was perfectly paced for the little kids, and was enjoyed by the big kids too! Even the babies were getting in on the action! I can't say enough about how fun and magical it was. Thank you, Little Saplings, for making our daughter's big day so special. 

There is something insanely magical about growing your own produce. Having a gardener who can create your vision, and help nurture such fragile, delicate little seeds of life, is vital to the success of such highly nutritious and delicious produce! 
Ruth not only exudes positivity and love, but she is a pleasure to work with and is exceptional at finding the exact seed you are looking for. She’s a gem! 

I hired Ruth for my 3 year old's birthday party and she and her team were such a big hit! The gardening/plant planting activity was so perfect and they organized it in a way that was very age-appropriate. She started with a story time and then went into talking about plants and soil, then had the kids do their own little potted plants then decorate them. It was such an original and fun activity that every child loved and that the parents also adored. She also managed the 24 toddlers in attendance with the skill and expertise of only the very best teachers. Everyone was so impressed especially me. And even better, each of the kids had a beautiful potted plant to take home at the end of the event. Some were able to put strawberries, others planted flowers and everyone had a great time.

I found Ruth with Little Saplings Children's Gardening through ChatGPT actually! My son has an interest in plants and planting and reached out to her. She was so incredibly friendly and warm on the phone and was ready to teach my sons. My son is a VERY strong willed boy and also a bit shy at times, but Ruth has been so amazing with him. She made him feel comfortable right away and poured care into him. She is so knowledgable and knows how to be with kids of all ages. She has created such a cute little garden for my son and we are so excited about it!

I met Ruth of Little Saplings about 13 years ago when my daughter Lindsey was 3. Lindsey wanted to learn how to garden and we have a modern home with no flowers. I also know nothing about gardening. After a quick computer search for gardening with children in LA I found Ruth and Little Saplings. Ruth can get as scientific or playful or art project oriented as you prefer. While working with Lindsey Ruth noticed an unused area of my property. She said it was "magical". I really never thought about that area as having any potential or use, it was an ivy slope. I said ok Ruth so what do you suggest.

ONE to ONE Gardening Design and Advice. People know me as an improvisational person, in my work, in my cooking, in my music. But when it comes to gardening, you need to know stuff or life does not spring forth. I have a big garden and it was just sitting there in 2019 doing nothing. I had failed at my improv. Enter Ruth / Little Saplings. She brought her focus and talent and enthusiasm into my world the moment she walked through my gates. I felt included in the thinking, and felt listened to, which meant the world to me. She also was very open about her ideas and recommendations.
