June 11th & July 9th: Science on the Farm (2nd Fridays)
Join us for an exciting day of hands-on science for kids on the Project GROWS farm. Along with Dr. Taylor Welsh of Science Delivered, we'll harvest some veggies and dissect them to learn all about what's inside in our Edible Science: Plant Dissection workshop. Then Rachel Winter with the Headwaters Soil & Water Conservation District will help us discover the world beneath our feet with the Underground Classroom Bus Discovery Tour! Explore all the living and non-living things we find underground as we explore why soil is an important natural resource. We’ll also play veggie-themed games, go on a scavenger hunt, and participate in fun garden tasks.
June 25th & July 23rd: Farm Explorers (4th Fridays)
It’s your chance to be a farmer for a day! Come explore the amazing living creatures of the farm alongside the Project GROWS staff. We’ll scour the riparian area and pasture for butterflies, birds, and grasshoppers and meet animal friends from nearby farms like chickens, lambs, rabbits, and worms! Be prepared to get dirty as we help out with fun farm tasks like digging up beets, carrots, and potatoes. We’ll also do taste tests of the day’s veggies and make seedballs with wildflower seeds to take home and spread in our neighborhoods.
