Spring Fling

May 9, 6 to 8 PM

Join us for a hands-on event celebrating the joys of sustainable gardening! Plant a seed to take home for your garden—or gift it to someone special in honor of Mother’s Day. Be sure to catch one of our pollinator presentations: The Truth About the Birds and the Bees, by ScienceWorks' new executive director, Gabriela Chavarria! This presentation will be given twice, once at 6:15 and again at 7:15 PM. Whether you're new to gardening or already have a green thumb, this is a fun and meaningful way to celebrate growth, community, and care.
