Junior Green Gatherings: Birds in our Backyards

The Andover Garden Club, in collaboration with the Memorial Hall Library Children’s Room, invites children aged 4-7 to come learn about the feathered friends who visit their backyard. What do they eat? Where do they winter? What are their names?

Children will learn more about the birds they see around them by participating in a book reading and related activities.

The event will take place from 10:30-11:30 AM on Saturday, March 24, 2018, in the Memorial Hall Library Children's Room, 2 North Main Street (Route 28), Andover, MA 01810, (978) 623-8400. There is no charge for the event, but space is limited, so please register online at www.mhl.org/eventcalendar. For more information, contact Erin Taylor at erintaylor@erinsbotanical.com.
