About the event

Did you know strawberries are the only fruit with the seeds on the outside? This is a great time of year to enjoy this wonderful berry. We have a lot of berry plants around our agriculture field that we will be looking at. We will read The First Strawberry by Joseph Bruchac, paint strawberry rocks, take home a plant and enjoy bountiful berries! We will meet at the Harvest Hub. For ages 2-5 with an accompanying adult.
