Garden Day is this Thursday, July 18th at 10-11AM!

Come help us garden this Thursday, July 18th anytime between 10 and 11AM! We'll be harvesting, pulling weeds, watering, and looking around for cool bugs to identify! Kids 2 and up are welcome to come (little ones, please bring your grown-up with you - older kids can attend independently) anytime during the hour to help us out in the garden.

Please be sure to wear lots of sunscreen and a hat as well as your best gardening clothes-since we're watering and pulling weeds, it may get a little muddy! See you on Thursday!

Zucchini and Peas!

We had a big harvest of peas and a great zucchini that we'll be sending over to the Salvation Army Soup Kitchen! We're sure there will be more to pick come next Garden Day on Thursday, July 18th!

June 27th Garden Day - This Week!

We hope the weather gets better over the next few days and that we are able to have our Garden Day. For now, it is NOT canceled, but we'll keep you updated. If we don't have to cancel, we'll be pulling weeds, harvesting radishes, planting more beans, exploring the growing garden and having fun! 

Remember to wear sunscreen and a hat (as it's supposed to be quite warm) and dress to get dirty! We'll also be doing a garden-related craft!

Everything in the garden has grown a lot in the past two months, so there's plenty to explore and discover! Hope to see you on Thursday morning from 10AM - 11AM!

June 8th - A Surprisingly Sunny Garden Day!

Our first outdoor Cultivating Kids Garden Day was great - despite the weather report, it was sunny and warm. Our garden is looking great!

Claire helped us pull a lot of weeds this morning.

 Our zucchini plants are growing well next to some marigolds.

Our potato plants are growing bigger and bigger!

 We spotted a bean sprouting up!

Garden Day Cancelled due to Inclement Weather

Garden Day is cancelled for this morning due to the heavy rain! We hope to see you on June 8th - our next Garden Day!

First Cultivating Kids Garden Day or 2013!

Our first Cultivating Kids Garden Day was a success! We planted mammoth sunflower seeds in  easy-to-make newspaper pots. Kids put together two newspaper pots with sunflower seeds in them - one for our garden at the library and one of their own to bring home.
