Fairy Houses in the Garden

What fun we had a few weeks ago in the Children's Garden building fairy houses! Amanda read Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane and everyone got to work. If you have a chance, stop by the garden and check out the great fairy houses!

Soil Exploration

We had the pleasure of our first classroom visit to the Children's Garden, Mrs. Trowt's second grade class. They were learning about soil and after they shared so many great things about soil, we got a bit messy.

The second grade soil experts sharing all their soil knowledge.

soil from the beach

compost from the tiered beds

all sorts of treasures like crab legs, shells, and seaweed in this soil

and the most exciting things we found were worms!

So much fun exploring all different types of soil, the creatures and components of that soil, and the importance of soil in nature. We love dirt!

Many thanks to Mrs. Trowt for allowing us to get a bit dirty in our exploration!
