About the event

As we enter the fall season, many of our plants are starting to go to seed. Join us as we explore how seeds travel, ways to save seeds and observe if any of our plants are going to seed now. We’ll read A Seed is Sleepy by Dianna Aston, look in our gardens for seeds and make seed pods to take home! We will meet at the Harvest Hub. For ages 2-5 with an accompanying adult.
