Peterborough Town Library

Eben Jones Classroom

For kids ages 5-12!

We will get our hands dirty making biodegradable seed pots and planting seeds for kiddos to take home. One lucky volunteer will dress up as a seed to explore what’s inside. Everyone will also plant a tomato transplant as the start of their very own salsa garden.

This program is in partnership with Cornucopia Project! Learn more about them on their website: cornucopiaproject.org

This program is funded by the Friends of the Peterborough Town Library who annually support our entire Summer Reading Program!
Thank you Friends!
