PEBC started the first Garden Camp the summer of 2010, under the direction of Naturalist Clay Steele. Garden Camp is a summer-long day camp that will teach your child the "ins and outs" of gardening, from planting to watering to harvesting. Campers will gather one day each week (for two hours) - throughout the summer months - to care for their garden and do other fun activities such as decorating their own Garden T-shirts, making stepping stones, creating herb pouches and seed orbs, learning to batik and use natural dyes, creating a toad house and pressing flowers, learning to compost and building a scarecrow - and that's not all! PLUS they will learn to make healthy foods using the garden's produce, sample yummy snacks made from garden herbs and veggies and take home veggies and flowers to share at home! Sponsored in part by Sanford Health, Jackson. This is an ideal opportunity for youth to learn about Minnesota's agricultural heritage first-hand as they experience the joy of digging their hands in the soil and the fun of picking and eating produce they raised themselves. Scheduled Dates: June - July - August - September - Call the PEBC office at 662-5064 or email marilyn@ecologybus.org for more information.
