Fall Kids Fest at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land

---

Bring the entire family out for a fun-filled, free outdoor event at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land at 13016 University Boulevard, just north of Highway 59 in the Telfair neighborhood, on September 26th from 10 am to 5 pm. The Great Grow, Inc., a 501(c)(3) charitable organization supporting organic school gardens, along with H-E-B and H-E-Buddy, will present a Pumpkin Patch adventure and a food tasting.

Learn all about the importance of pollinators to food supply, view a living bee hive, tour the museum butterfly garden and learn to raise endangered monarch butterflies in your own backyard! There will be an array of children’s activities and vendors, including a Habitat Plant sale featuring plants from Treesearch Farms and The Brookwood Community.

The Great Grow, Inc. sponsors an annual school garden competition and donates $500 to each participating school to be used for the implementation of their garden. The gardens must be organic and incorporate rain harvesting and composting. This year’s participating schools include David Crockett and First Colony middle schools and Arizona Fleming, Barbara Jordan, Highlands, Lakeview, Mission Bend, Mission West, Oyster Creek, Ridgemont, Townewest and Walker Station elementary schools.
