This new club consists of 3 different series; it began with the inaugural Fall Series which focused on animals. The Winter Series focused on Homesteading Principals, and the upcoming Spring Series (April 7th - June 2nd) focuses on plants and gardening.
There will be two different time slots offered on Mondays, each will feature a safe indoor and outdoor learning environment and small group setting focused on nature-based activities and hands on learning.
Activities include: During this 8-week program, some of the things we will be learning about are: gardening, caring for plants, benefits to gardening, types of plants, plant life cycles, plant anatomy, soil science, art and cooking.
