Some gardeners will remember
from their own earliest recollections that no one sees the garden
as vividly, or cares about it as passionately,
as the child who grows up in it.
- Carol Williams, Bringing a Garden to Life

SEEDS OF SCIENCE
Saturday, April 19 – Sunday, April 20
9:30am–5:30pm

OMSI's back courtyard
1945 SE Water, Portland, OR
Free with paid museum admission

Children and Gardens: both require a whole lot of time and love to grow to full glory. Wonderfully, the more they interact, the better both will become.

This weekend, OMSI offers the opportunity for you to learn with your kids about the great, dirty, and rewarding world of gardening and sustainable food at Seeds of Science, a two-day community event.

What will you learn?
• Preserving the pollinator population — Xerces Society
• Creating home herb gardens — Portland Nursery
• Guide to backyard farming — Your Backyard Garden
• Composting — Metro
• Container gardening — Growing Gardens

Also:
• Plastics in the Food Chain: When We Become Our Waste — An art exhibit
• Farmer’s Market — OMSI vendors provide info on local farming

Give your kids a leg up while learning some valuable lessons yourself. And then everything can grow together: you, your kids, your compost bin, and your vegetable patch.
