Everything's coming up roses in the Children's Department...er, petunias, that is.


The fun was growing at Earth Friendly Friday on July 7!      img_0015

Children and parents "upcycled" tin cans by covering them with brightly-patterned tape.  Then they planted colorful petunias to enjoy on a windowsill or front porch all summer long.  Teaching children how to plant and care for their flower was Jenni Mettemeyer with Field to Family, an Iowa City organization that works to create a more local, healthy and sustainable regional food system.

Exclamations of "That was fun!" and "This is beautiful!" were overheard.  Join us next Friday, July 14, from 1-2pm to learn about recycling with Iow img_0004 a City Recycling and Landfill representatives.
