This is a wonderful opportunity to spark curiosity, embrace a little mess, and connect with nature in a creative and playful way. Arrive ready to dig, create, and explore the wonders of dirt through fun, hands-on discovery and make forever memories with your little ones!

Then, get your hands dirty as you help refresh the veggie garden at the education center, giving the plants some much-needed love. Next, tap into creativity and make a gardening-inspired craft to take home. And to top it all off, you’ll also get to bring home your very own plant to care for and watch grow.
