Saturday, February 17, 10-11am: Seed Swap
Join us for our annual seed swap. Bring in any extra seeds you might have saved from last year and share with neighbors to increase the diversity of your garden. We usually have an abundance of seed donations from local companies too, so if you are new to gardening, you can just come and learn from neighbors what grows well in their gardens and bring home a few seed packets. We will also draw names for a seed starting kit for one lucky participant to bring home!

Monday, February 19, 3-4pm: Lab Girls
This club empowers young women to explore science and technology through hands-on experiments and activities. For grades 4-8. This month we will learn about women inventors and the girls will get to tinker with some tools and raw materials. Our guest will be Sam Roach-Gerber, Director of Innovation at VCET. Must register.

Tuesday, February 20, 5:30-7:30pm: Fearless Art
Local artist Julie Griffis leads this exciting art class where participants get to experiment with different tools and mediums to create a mixed media art piece to take home. Refreshments will be provided. Must register. Cost is $20 and includes all materials, instruction and snacks.
