Farm and Garden Hands
No room for farm animals and a vegetable garden at home? Come to the park and help our staff take care of our animals and tend our community garden. Children will learn and practice different animal care tasks as well as spend time learning what it takes to make a garden grow. These programs are highly interactive and provide hands on experience with animals and plants. Registration is required. Topics change monthly. Read below for the focus of each month.
