First Kinder-Garden class of the season with the Hampton Bays Public Library is in the books!

Children made pollinator seed bombs and got their hands in the soil—digging for worms and planting lettuce and dill in our garden bed.

We’re excited for our next class on Thursday, May 14th—don’t miss out! Sign up through the library to join us.

You couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day to be in the garden. 🌞 Grateful for our volunteers who make it all possible! 💚
