    photo opportunities, and hay-wagon shuttles.

    other items that can be used in a garden, including a heirloom
    plant sale and more.  Plus, a local farmer's market will be
    set-up.



    Free, tasting stations and children's hands-on crafts and
    activities will be going on all day, as well.  And, kids can
    enjoy jumping in a huge mound of straw and throwing fistfuls in the
    air!



    Visitors can also enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides for $2/person,
    too. 



    And, refreshments will be available for purchase.



    Garfield Park Nature Center is located off the Broadway Avenue
