Description

There are so many benefits to gardening organically. Let’s dig deep! In this camp, we will learn about the many benefits of gardening organically, such as improved soil health, more nutritious food, and clean water systems. Together, we will plan a garden, save and plant seeds, compost with worms, organically manage pests, know when to harvest, and much more. We will learn how to support healthy ecosystems while growing food and pollinator plants that thrive in our Northwest environment. Along the way, we will play games, create art, conduct scientific investigations, and make tasty garden snacks!
