We will investigate the science of seeds from their parts through their cycles.
Seeds are designed to withstand many impacts that weather and natural events throw at them.
The marvels of their design allow them to travel and spread out over distances to compete for sunlight, water and space, sometimes waiting years to emerge.

Knowing a bit more about seeds can help you successfully start your seeds to be transplanted outdoors.
We will provide the materials and a variety of seed starter pots that are environmentally safe that allow easy transfer to your garden or planters.

Walk Against Hunger in West Haven to benefit Connecticut Food Bank
*Information shared from Facebook:
"Join us at scenic Savin Rock Park in West Haven to rally in support of neighbors in need and get on the move toward a hunger free Connecticut.
Many of our neighbors in cities and towns across Connecticut battle hunger every day. By participating in the Walk Against Hunger, you will bring attention to their challenges and raise funds to provide nutritious food to people in need.
More than 300,000 people in our service area are food insecure; nearly 100,000 children struggle with hunger. Funds raised at the Walk Against Hunger support the vital work of the Connecticut Food Bank providing food to hungry adults and children in six Connecticut counties: Fairfield, Litchfield, Middlesex, New Haven, New London, and Windham.
Last year, we distributed enough food to provide 20.3 million meals, or more than 55,000 meals every day to people in need.
No need to collect checks or cash - donations are made directly to you through your Walk page.
Register today and build your team of hunger fighters!
If you have questions regarding the Walk Against Hunger, email walk@ctfoodbank.org."
