Kids in the Garden

12/16/2019

Master Gardener Volunteers provided a children’s program resulting in eighty-five (85) kids attending in the Teaching and Display Garden at the Spooner Research Station in 2019.

Topics covered: Planting our Garden and Construction of a Bug Condo; Composting We Go and Magical Hummingbirds; Yoga in the Garden; Marvelous Monarchs and Pollinators; and Apples, Apples, Apples and Painting Friendship Rocks.

Each session consisted of a story walk, a hands-on presentation, a nutritious snack, an activity related to the subject of the day, planting and weeding their raised bed gardens, a square foot garden and salad garden, and refilling the hummingbird feeders.

Plans are in place for a 2020 program. Be sure to check back in the spring for event announcements and schedules.
