Seedling Explorers Launches at Sterling Township Community Garden for the Second Year

Submitted
Illinois Extension kicked off its Seedling Explorers program at the Sterling Township Community Garden, welcoming seven youth and their parents for the first session.

Participants enjoyed a read-aloud of How Groundhog’s Garden Grew by Lynne Cherry, shared their garden likes and dislikes, and planted their first bean seeds of the season.

Seedling Explorers is a free drop-in program that meets on Tuesdays at 10 a.m. throughout the summer, with the final session scheduled for Aug. 4. While activities are designed for pre-kindergarten and early elementary-aged youth, families and participants of all ages are welcome to attend.
