Monday, April 21st 12 – 1:30 ALL SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED! We will be offering our Spring Is Growing program. Children will begin this program in our barn classroom where they will learn about the parts of a seed; germination; how seeds travel; and how seeds grow into plants. They will take a tour of our working greenhouses and observe plants at various stages of growth. The children will also learn about the farm animals and have an opportunity to feed them. The program concludes with a fun filled hayride that goes through the Cattail Creek!
