Kids in the Garden

Virtual Kids in the Garden

Our Kids in the Garden summer series for kids will have a different look this summer. We plan to release educational gardening videos for kids (and adults too!) regularly throughout the summer of 2020. Follow along and please DO try these at home! Tune in throughout the summer to find out this and lots of other gardening and natural resources fun!

Due to COVID-19 concern this program will be offered exclusively on demand via the Spooner Agricultural Research Station Facebook page and on this website.    Most programs will start with a topic-related story and provide an educational presentation.  See below for video links to each program.
