Glade Road Growing and New River Land Trust present Kids in the Dirt: a Summer Farm Education Series with their third workshop "Garden Art" on Saturday, June 1, 2019.
Connect with nature’s beauty by walking around the farm and collecting natural materials to make a collage, or create an illustration using mud painting. Artwork will be displayed at the farm stand with participants’ approval. We’ll enjoy a tasty treat to follow. All materials will be provided.
From seed starting to harvesting, garden art to feeding the animals, this fun and interactive series throughout the summer gets your kids up close and personal with local food production on our working farm. This series is geared towards kids ages 5-12.
Registration required. Sign up for each workshop closes on the prior Wednesday by 9:00 pm.
