A Gardening Program
Join us in Children's Services as we learn to explore the basics of planting a garden. We will hear from local gardener Josie Dellinger, who will help us get started on a little planting of our own! Listening to gardening stories, learn about plants and seeds, and participate in a hands-on gardening activity.
