McLEAN --
The day before Thanksgiving, Sugar Grove Nature Center is offering a
young children's program, "Little Wonders: Plants on Your
Thanksgiving Plate." It will be presented from 10 to 11:30 a.m. and
again at 1 to 2:30 p.m. on Nov. 21.
|
Turkeys usually take center stage on Thanksgiving Day, but dinner
wouldn't be the same without the plants on your plate. Children ages
3 to 5 are invited to find out how cranberries grow, how a pumpkin
becomes a pie and see potatoes before they are mashed. Even stuffing
starts off as a plant. Participants will make a craft, listen to a
story and enjoy a snack. The fee is $5 per child for members and
$8 per child for nonmembers. Registration and adult chaperone are
required.
For more information or to register, phone 309-874-2174 or email
