About the event

Gardeners use all types of ways to keep deer, birds and other large critters out of their crops. One fun way is to use a scarecrow! We’ll read Scarecrow by Cynthia Rylant, walk around to find evidence of critters in the gardens and look for fall crops, then make our own small scarecrow to take home! We will meet at the Harvest Hub. For ages 2-5 with an accompanying adult.

Schedule: Oct 2, 2026 Friday from 10am to 11am

Duration: 1 hour
