    Bugging Out! - Saturday, March 12, 2 to 3pm

    Bugs are all around us! But where do they go in the wintertime? Come explore the world of bugs by examining the parts of a live insect, building your own clay creepy crawly, and searching for bug homes in the garden. Please dress for the weather. 

    Kitchen Gardening - Saturday, March 26, 2 to 3pm

    You can garden in the winter too! Participants learn about all the different ways to grow plants and even plant a few to take home! Class includes a sneak preview of the Children's Garden seedlings in preparation for the spring. Please dress for the weather.
