Grow Together Native Garden Club will focus on the entire household working as a team to manage your own native wildflower gardens at home. Along the journey, we will focus on three ways a garden space can be used: Pollinator support, food production and play! Each meeting, families will share their garden adventures, learn about garden ecology, give our small garden space a little TLC and spend some time creating or playing! This is a Tools to Trek program.
