Enjoy special drop-in activities led by our education team. Activities change regularly with new ways to play, learn, and explore how food goes from field to fork!
AGENDA
10 AM: Seed Shooters | Let’s build, launch, and learn! Make seed balls using clay, soil, and a native plant mixture, then craft a simple “seed shooter” from cardboard tubes to send the seeds sailing! Learners will explore how plants spread their seeds and why native plants matter for local ecosystems.
11 AM: Sampling Seeds | From crunchy peas and sweet corn kernels to sunflower seeds, beans, and even the tiny seeds in berries, seeds play an important role in our diet. Through hands-on observation and tasting opportunities, compare shapes, sizes, and textures while uncovering the role seeds play in our food systems.
1 PM: Creep, Crawl, Flutter & Fly | From crawling caterpillars to beautiful butterflies, learn how these important insects impact production agriculture. Construct a caterpillar that crawls and craft a fluttering butterfly. Connect these itty-bitty insects with the important industry that puts food on our tables!
