Description

Summer is a wonderful season to learn how to garden. Let’s water, compost, plan, plant, harvest and cook together. There are so many benefits to gardening organically – and it’s tons of fun!
We will:

  • Dig into the world of growing healthy soil and plants. We’ll investigate and learn how decomposers work and even meet our composting worms!
  • Explore the garden while discovering the secrets of organic pest control through hands-on scientific investigations and gardening techniques.
  • Plan next season’s garden! We’ll learn how to save seeds and use crop rotation to plan for next season.
  • Harvest fruits and veggies to make tasty, nutritious garden snacks.
  • Learn how to support healthy ecosystems while growing food and pollinator plants that thrive in our Northwest environment.
  • Play games inspired by the garden, create art and much more!
