Dillon Brown, 9, son of Morgan and John Moormon Jr., of Sidney, listens as Sophie Nieport explains how to make a marker to put in plants so that they can be differentiated from weeds in a garden. At Thursday’s session of the Kid’s Summer Garden Series held at the People’s Garden, participants dug compost and got to take home planters that they planted seeds in.
