Growing in the Garden - Mr. Macculloch's Marvelous Garden Journal
March 17, 2015 |
Winter, spring, summer and fall -- come visit the gardens at Macculloch Hall! “Growing in the Garden” is a year-round hands-on art program for 3 - 5 year olds and their caregivers using natural resources found in Macculloch Hall Historical Museum’s garden. The program includes a story, a walk in the garden, and an art project, and meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month with two session times available: 1:15 – 2 pm or 3:45 – 4:30 pm. The program does not meet in January, resumes in February 2015. During inclement weather the program meets indoors in the museum classroom.
On March 17th come and learn about “Mr. Macculloch’s Marvelous Garden Journal”. Discover what George Macculloch planted in his family’s vegetable garden nearly 200 years ago. Farmers’ journals contained detailed information about planting: when and how far apart seeds were planted, and when crops were harvested. After a story and a walk in the garden, children can plant seeds to take home and watch grow.
