Horticulture Habitats
Animals are out of hibernation but they may be hiding in plain sight. Get your shovels out and put on your working clothes, we’ll be covered in fun from our heads to our toes as we dig into the habitats and learn about animals who help our local plants grow and inhibit the bosque. Design a garden and your very own critter habitat.
