5-2-1-0 FREE Kids' Event: Square-Foot Gardening for Kids

Watch our 5-2-1-0 Video here to get revved up for all the fun!

Instructor: John Zweber, Dakota County Master Gardener
 
Let's get down and dirty and learn where our food comes from. Your kids will get the low-down on how vegetables grow. They will get to take home their own plant too! Watching their plant grow and change week to week and taking responsibility for its care, makes your kids feel important. That has to more fun than watching the same TV show or video game over and over.
