9.12.24 First week of fall lessons • Get your Great GROW Get-Together Tickets Today

The 1st week of fall garden lessons

We are continuing our growing season theme of Exploring Community In Our Garden. In Lesson 1, we are talking about Pollinator Syndromes or how flowers have adapted to attract certain types of pollinators. 

Students are searching the gardens for flowers with certain characteristics; just like pollinators do.  They are also enjoying taste tests of the big variety of produce that’s ready to harvest.  If you have a child currently in garden lessons ask them if they tried anything new!
