Springtime Exploration

nature walks: stopping to smell the roses :)

 The individual part of the children's garden (above): Each child painted a pot, planted seeds, and watched them grow. Each child watered his/her plant as needed. In the process, amongst other things, they learned responsibility and the plant cycle. 

The group part of the children's garden involved lovingly tending to a vegetable garden. The children will have a chance to eat organic produce right from the garden--we plan to use the vegetables the children grow for cooking projects and in their meals.

The children made bird food to hang from the trees, then went birdwatching several times to see what birds, and other critters :), would come to eat the food they had made.

Goodbye, Spring!
