Otter Brook Farm for Families

Join agricultural specialist Matthew Roy and Harris Center naturalist Susie Spikol Faber for a morning of planting, stories, games, and art at Otter Brook Farm’s beautiful new demonstration farm site on Saturday, June 1, 2013. Spend time visiting the greenhouse, planting in the nursery, exploring the orchard, and discovering the garden beds. We’ll get our hands in the dirt, taste the greens that are already growing, and plant something special to bring home. This is a perfect way for families with preschoolers and/or young elementary-school aged children to spend a morning in the garden. 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Otter Brook Farm garden located on Gulf Road in Peterborough, right before The Happy Valley Preschool.

This is a free program, but registration is required. For more information or to register, contact Sara LeFebvre at lefebvre@harriscenter.org or (603) 525-3394.
