About the event

Farmers must carefully nurture their gardens, but how do wild plants grow? Join us this month as we read Planting the Wild Garden by Kathryn Galbraith to discover how Mother Nature gardens. We'll study various types of seeds from native plants and make a garden craft to take home.

Children must be registered and accompanied by an adult. Storytime for Tots is a monthly series, and includes a story followed by nature exploration and a craft or activity.
