Planting Pumpkins: Harvesting Session October 8, 2010

Join us for a reading of Pumpkin, Pumpkin, by Jeanne Titherington. Meet some of the animals who help out in the story, and then come with us to the garden to prepare a bed and plant pumpkin seeds! Take pumpkin seeds home to plant in your garden. As the season progresses visit the garden when you visit and watch the pumpkin plants sprout, grow vines, flower and then fruit. Return in the fall to harvest the pumpkins and make a yummy pumpkin treat. - - Up to three children per adult. Fees apply to all participants, both adults and children.
