Programs

Composting Program
Our composting program teaches students the principles of recycling, using worms as the “world’s greatest recycler.” Each composting session is taught by a Master Composter. Worms are a fun way for kids to learn about recycling and become more aware of the environment.
Art Program
Students will create a special “hands-on” art project to take home.
Music Program
Students will enjoy singing songs like “Dirt Made my Lunch” and “Bees Have Power” that both teach and entertain.
Antique Tractor Wagon Rides
Students will enjoy a ride on an open-air wagon pulled by an antique tractor.
