Kitchen & Garden
“ Seeing the children’s excitement as we cook with food they’ve grown in our garden, brings our long-term vision to life.” ”- Annie Dugan – Kitchen Specialist
The Happy Trails Kitchen and Garden Program is offered to all children aged 6 months to 5 years, inspiring a love for nature, healthy eating, and sustainability. Inspired by the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation, the program engages children in hands-on experiences of planting, growing, and cooking—learning the process from seed to plate. Led by Qualified Chef and Kitchen Specialist Annie Dugan, who brings over 30 years of culinary experience and a passion for making nutritious food fun, the program runs year-round with rotating sessions to ensure every child’s participation.
