Dirt and Discovery

This summer, Illinois Extension staff and Master Gardener volunteers are offering an opportunity for local youth to engage in outdoor education and learn more about how to grow their own food. Through Dirt and Discovery, youth will rediscover where their food comes from and learn more about the natural world around them. Participants can take part in gardening tasks, including planting, weeding, harvesting, and watering and learn about garden science concepts, such as soils, composting, and insects. Registration is required and space is limited.
