Family Program: Fruit to Poop: A Seed's Journey (On-site Drop-in Program)

Lilly Andersen, USBG Family Education Specialist, and USBG Volunteers
What's the connection between fruit and poop? Join Lilly and USBG volunteers to explore how plants and animals help each other and the relationship between plants making fruit and animals eating that fruit. Think and learn about what makes a fruit a fruit, why fruits tend to taste sweet, and why it benefits plants when animals eat their fruits.
