Visit the Soil Born Farms - May 11th
Celebrate spring in the garden with hands-on projects for the whole family!

At this special Harvard-sponsored event, youth and sdults will build small planter boxes to take home, learn how to build healthy soil, sow seeds and transplant plants. We will enjoy a fresh snack from the farm with herbal tea, followed by a simple lunch that will be prepared at the farmhouse kitchen.
Our visit begins at 9.30am, with Alyssa Kassner, and ends at 11.30am. Please plan to arrive no later than 9.15am.
