What does it matter where our food comes from? Students will explore how eating locally grown whole foods can save on gas. Join us as we explore the foods grown in Minnesota, and examine the stories of how they got here. Students will harvest sweet potatoes from the Children's Garden, mash apples into sauce, and husk popcorn from the cob as they learn about the origins of these plants and how they made their way into our Minnesota Thanksgiving celebration.  

For individual home school students and their educator. Come and learn about different plant topics with our hands-on science based programs.  To Register: 952-443-1422. Students must be registered one week in advance of the program. Payment due at the time of reservation.
Cost: $7/student member, $9/student non-member.
