Planting Smiles Field Trip
Tuesdays and Wednesdays ONLY
April 23rd – July 31st, 2013
Recommended for Preschool – 5th grade.
Without seeds, we would not be able to grow any farm products. During the tour students learn about the life of a plant from seed to maturity. Students tour the farm, see how seeds get started, and then plant Big Smiles – a sunflower variety that grows one to two feet tall. Each student takes home a potted seed. Along the way students will also get to meet some of Anderson Farms’ favorite animal friends including Miles the Buffalo. Expect to get your hands dirty!
Note: Field Trip reservations are required 48 hours in advance & require a 15 child minimum.
