Planting and
Playing - Freedom Park, Randolph
Come to the pavilion at
Freedom Park for an opportunity to share with your children the
pleasure of planting a seed and nurturing it to grow. We'll
hear a story about gardening and plant some flower seeds to take
home. Soil, seeds, and paper cups will be provided, but
bring your own pot if you would prefer something more substantial
than a paper cup planter and bring your own seeds if there is
something specific that you would like to grow. When we
finish our gardening, we can run around in the playground.
Please make sure to RSVP if you plan to attend so we know how many
supplies we will need.
