Our “junior farmers” loved their field trip to the Franklin Farmers Market!

Jr. Farmers Day, melon mania and a visit to a working farm – it’s all part of the fun in July for students at the Growing Kids Educational Garden. With hands-on lessons and activities, kindergarten through 4th grade kids learn more about where their food comes from, what it takes to get food from seeds to plate and how their actions can help the environment.

Registration for July classes at the garden is now open. Classes are free and it’s a fun way to teach your kids about food and what it takes to get it to the table. For information and to register for the classes in June, download the registration form below.

It was fun to decorate pumpkins from the kids garden
