Session 2: Soil Explorers – July 18th thru August 22nd Wednesdays 3:30-5:30
The Earth is covered with green plants because of a beautiful combination of sun, water, air and soil. Become a soil explorer and learn how soil is one of the most life-sustaining ingredients on our planet. We’ll even learn how soil helps us to make homemade pizza with a special guest from Berkshire Mountain Bakery!
