Enroll in fun, hands-on garden field trips for school groups in preschool through sixth grade.  Groups of children engage all their senses through exploration and hands on activities in the Seattle Tilth Children’s Garden. We taste herbs and flowers, touch the soft and the prickly, forage in the soil to discover compost critters and allow children to find the unexpected delights of gardening. All tours begin with an introductory activity and two or three other garden “stations.”
Children learn and practice important garden activities such as making compost, planting, tending and harvesting crops, collecting seeds and other seasonal activities. Visit one time or make a series of visits to build on gardening and environmental concepts.

COST: $4.75 per child / $80.00 minimum. Spaces fill quickly so contact us soon to reserve a tour date, (206) 633-0451 ext. 105 or www.seattletilth.org <http://www.seattletilth.org> .
