Saturday Seedlings: Soil, Seeds & Water

June 13th, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

$5 donation per child

Join LFT and The Wittel Farm for a special water-themed Saturday Seedlings, a hands-on farm experience where families can learn about how food grows and why our local farmland is so special. Through fun, interactive activities, children and their grown-ups will see how water brings seeds to life, discover why Lancaster’s rich soil doesn’t need irrigation like other places, and learn what makes our farmland worth protecting forever. Families will compare climates and soil types, plant seeds to take home, and decorate their own watering cans. This is a shared experience for families to learn and get their hands dirty together! This session is designed for children aged 5-8, but we welcome all children to explore, create, and participate at their own comfort level.

Now celebrating its 10th anniversary, Lancaster Water Week, seeks to educate and empower our community to care for the 1,400 miles of streams and rivers in Lancaster County.  Join us for over 60 events as we paddle, explore, volunteer, and take action for the streams and rivers of Lancaster County!
