Arlington Community Education

Join the Plantmobile Garden Club! Learn the basics of botany and biology while creating art and science projects relating to the wild world of plants. Grow plants and track their progress, sow seeds, create plant-based art projects, and use microscopes to get up-close and personal with plant anatomy. We’ll talk about where and how plants grow, take a closer look at some of our plants’ best friends, insects and worms, and dig into how they all work and communicate together.

Have fun doing creative hands-on experiments that go beyond what you would learn in school. We’ll dabble in chemistry, physics, and engineering. Focus on things that fly by constructing paper helicopters, launching straw rockets, and participating in a paper airplane challenge. Build a marble maze, a spaghetti tower, and more. Do chemistry experiments, explore electricity, and get “attracted” to magnetism, then make a flip book about our experiments to take home and share.
