• Tuesday, June 1: Time to Move! In the Vegetable Garden with Patricia Bailey. Students in grades 4 through 6 are invited to join horticulturist Patricia Bailey to learn how to transplant and discover leaves, roots, and stems and learn how to handle tender baby plants; discussion on overcrowding, separation, and space. Students will be able to take a plant home for transplanting. Plan on having dirty hands or bring gloves and masks please. 

• Thursday, June 3: Kitchen Scrap Gardens with Holly Smith. Elementary school students are invited to join Holly Smith to devise a very imaginative indoor garden from your kitchen leftovers. Kitchen scraps gardening is when you grow plants from items you’d normally throw in your compost bucket. It’s a great way to reinforce the sustainable living concepts of recycling and reusing.
