RIDGELY, MD:
Spring is an exciting time for new life at the Arboretum! Adkins Arboretum is offering a series of homeschool classes this spring with Growing Up Green! During this eight-week program, students will peek into bluebird boxes, scoop up tadpoles with nets, scout for chrysalises in the pollinator beds, use binoculars to find squirrel nests, plant sunflower seeds and much more as they learn about the fascinating life cycles of our native plants and wildlife.
Early reading skills will be incorporated into this program, but reading is not a requirement for participation. Students should dress for the weather as most learning will take place outdoors. The program is for ages 6–10. Classes take place Tuesdays, March 26 to May 14, 2024 from 1 to 2:30 p.m.
Advance registration is required at adkinsarboretum or by calling 410-634-2847.
