    Discover the importance of fresh from dirt to dinner at Cleveland Metroparks �Farm & Garden Day� event on Saturday, June 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Garfield Park Nature Center in Garfield Park Reservation in Garfield Heights.



        
    �Farm & Garden Day� is a free event featuring the journey of getting fresh food from dirt to the dinner table.  Enjoy a day �down-on-the-farm� with vendors and exhibitors, live farm animals, farm equipment, photo opportunities, and haywagon shuttles. 


        Local vendors will have products available from farmers and 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 entrance of Garfield Park Reservation in Garfield Heights - north of the I-480/Broadway Avenue exit.
