Read and Create: Gardening @ Burnett

Burnett Neighborhood Library, 560 E. Hill St. 90806 Wednesday, July 22, 2026, 3 – 4:30pm In this second session of our three‑part Read and Create series, young readers will explore how plants take root and grow. We’ll begin by enjoying a story that celebrates nature and the world of growing things. Afterward, we’ll discuss simple gardening basics and what plants need to thrive. Children will decorate their own pots, fill them with soil, and choose seeds—flowers or vegetables—to plant and care for throughout the season. We’ll also take a moment to check on our butterfly habitat and see how our garden visitors are progressing along their own growth journey. Craft supplies are provided while supplies last.
