Garden Activity Kits are a great way to bring our monthly children's programs themes alive in your home while supporting the JCRA's Children's Program.

August's Spotlight Theme—Summer Harvest

You planted vegetables this spring. Tended to them throughout the hot summer. Now, they are filling your house with yummy goodness! Celebrate all the fresh summer produce with us this month with our children's programs focusing on vegetable gardening.

The August Garden Activity Kit highlights the bounty of a summer's harvest! Enjoy a delightful read: "Right This Very Minute . . ." a table-to-farm book about food and farming by Lisl H. Detlefsen. Then, encourage your kids to become garden chefs while using their own kid-friendly cutting board and knife to slice and dice yummy vegetables! Also included: a fragrant basil plant to put in your garden or on a sunny window shelf, vegetable seeds to start your cool-weather garden, recipe cards to document your new family favorites and this month's Garden Spotlight: Summer Harvest.
