AGES: 6-13

Kids work with teaching artist Libby Birch with assistance from Debra Bowles and Caroline Lehman-Croswell to design and build a small scarecrow or a key scarecrow element (face, hat, hands, or signage) for the community garden. Using recycled fabrics, buttons, natural materials, and craft supplies, each child will imagine a personality and purpose for their scarecrow character while learning why scarecrows are used to protect crops. Finished pieces may be combined into a larger collaborative scarecrow for installation in the garden later in the season.

Culture Crops Activity: Community Photo – participants and their scarecrows will be photographed to celebrate the project and document this stage of the garden’s story.

When: Second Friday, February 13th from 6-8 PM

Location: Art Ed. Room
