The Lyons District Library is holding special children's activities all throughout Spring Break!
On Friday, April 5th the Dugan Family will be at the Library to teach kids about starting seeds!
10:30am Story Time, Seed Starting Project and Snack
The seeds will remain at the library until the ground warms up so youth can check back on their progress while returning books. Once the ground warms up, seeds will be transplanted to the Dugan Garden a few blocks away from the Library. When the harvest is ready, the Library will again host a Salsa Party so kids can taste the yummy produce that was grown from the seeds! Remaining produce that is harvested from these plants will be donated to the Muir Christian Food Pantry.
What a great way to celebrate SPRING and serve your community!

Lyons area children learn about the benefits of planting, growing and eating fresh foods from the garden by starting plants from their own seeds. When the plants are big enough, they will be planted in the community garden at The Higbee Acre Farm. The program, part of spring break activities at the Lyons Township District Library, took place Friday.
