Sep 29, 2012 - Fall Festival
No Rain Date
Children's Class: Pumpkins and Squash and Gourds … Oh My! and Eating a Rainbow
Description: During the Fall Festival children will have the opportunity to dig into some of our favorite fall fruits and vegetables. They will learn how to harvest seeds and why it is important.  

Join us in the garden on Wednesdays from 6pm-dusk and Saturdays from 9 or 10 am to noon (earlier in the morning on Saturdays as the summer heats up).  Together we'll enjoy the experience of community gardening, sharing produce and the opportunity to contribute to wonderful organizations that support local families.  We learn as we play: both children and adults are welcome and no gardening experience is necessary.  Plus, it's free!
