## About

Homeschool Garden Stewards: Scarecrow STEM celebrates National STEM Day with scarecrow-inspired activities and experiments at Norfolk Botanical Garden. Afterward, students work as a team to build a scarecrow for the Learn & Grow School Garden. It is strictly recommended for homeschoolers ages 9 to 14, and younger children are directed to other series. It suits kids who enjoy hands-on building and teamwork. All children and adults need pre-registered tickets, which include garden admission.
