Do you find yourself cheering on worms as they make their treacherous journey through the dirt? Or are you unsure how to begin your own garden at home? Having a hard time figuring out what the pH levels of your soil is telling you? Join us at OMSI After Dark: Homegrown if you’re wanting to take your home garden up a notch or if you just love supporting Oregon’s farmers.
Unfamiliar with the event? OMSI After Dark is for guests 21 and over, where you can have a drink and wander the exhibits after hours. Interact with local groups and vendors, hands-on science experiments, lectures, food and beverage samplers, and more. Each event has a different theme, which means a new set of people and entertainment to engage with each month!
