Meet Me in the Garden: The Influence of Nature on Our Well-Being
April 24, 2024 @ 7:00 pm
Based on the book, "The Well-Gardened Mind," the presenters will explore and share the tremendous influence that nature, plants and being in the garden can have on our mental health. Learn about documented cases where nature has transformed lives.
This biweekly program is designed to engage young children and accompanying adults in the wonderful world of gardening. Each class builds upon the last and will be centered on what’s growing and ready to harvest! Adults are asked to actively participate with children during the program. Registration is required and begins on 6/26.
Join us in collaboration with Let’s Grow Akron for weekly hands-on gardening activities for children of all ages. Seed, sow, water, harvest…and enjoy! Each week we’ll have a game or craft, garden activity and a snack themed around what is growing and ready to harvest in the garden. In the event of inclement weather, the program will be held indoors.
Join us in collaboration with Let’s Grow Akron and OSU Extension to learn about proper plant pruning and disease management in the vegetable garden. The program will be canceled in the event of inclement weather.
