Start your seeds from scratch. Plant seeds for flowers and vegetables with the Library's gardener. Find out how plants help butterflies and other animals. Grow some to take home and some for the library. When your seedlings get big enough, come back and plant them in the Children's Garden. This is a Drawdown program.

Join the museum staff for a special storytime Monday - Friday this week in the round house as they read some of their favorite picture books on our historic 1916 carrousel.
