Online Resources
In a normal year, students would be visiting the 4-H Children's Gardens for Seeds of Science. They would generally visit 3 different days and "experience plants" in lots of interesting ways. Because of the Covid 19 pandemic, all Seeds of Science visits have been canceled, so we are making a number of the activities available online.
We hope you will try these activities out, have some fun with them and learn a bit more about how important plants are to all of us everyday.

Christmas Tree Classroom
Our Christmas Tree Classroom program also moved to an online version. Students listed to the Christmas Tree story live via Zoom or Google Meet or they watched the videos we created. Then they made tree ornaments based on the book.
