Join us for an afternoon of gardening exploration with Cambridge’s CitySprouts to celebrate the release of their new book We Garden Together!, which features hands-on planting and growing activities to make nature education accessible, whether in a small yard, classroom, or community garden. This 45 activity will be led by CitySprouts’ founding director Jane Hirschi and will introduce kids to two garden "friends": snails and worms and then planting seeds in a cup to take home. The activity is geared toward children ages 3 and up, but all are welcome! Ticket includes supplies for gardening activity and a copy of WE GARDEN TOGETHER.
