This is a family event that celebrates the season and brings the garden inside. We are going to be focusing on leaves and seeds through hands on activities. Your children can make their own leaf journal and fill it up with rubbings, prints, collages, and even their own homemade paper. They will also explore seeds through a close up look at the fall flowers and planting an edible sprouting necklace.
Peter Pan is returning to Kilbourn Park and so is our storyteller Nancy Roberts for this event.
Local crafts and healthy snacks will be available for sale at the event to help raise funds for Kilbourn Park Organic Greenhouse.
You can purchase your event tickets in advance at the Kilbourn Park Field House Monday- Thursday 1 pm – 7 pm.
If you have any questions feel free to calll or e-mail Kirsten Akre at Kirsten.akre@chicagoparkdistrict.com or 773-685-3359.
The event will be held in the field house gymnasium.
I love what you do with the children. HURRAH!! Thanks so much for listing two of my books, Hollyhock Days and Roots Shoots Buckets & Boots. Please check out Sunflower Houses, written in 1991 and in its 12 printing, and Toad Cottages & Shooting Stars, which features straw bale gardening for children, cooking from the garden, solar cooking, and container gardening, also making homemade paper from the garden.
Keep up your great work,

I think it's great to see people getting kids involved in the garden, and to see how much joy they get out of it is just the best feeling isn't it.
