Thursday after school something lovely happened. A couple of parents in the newly cultivated Butterfly Garden doing some weeding turned into a small group exploration of nature. Five SK’s/1’s just wandered in and asked to help. They were enamoured with the gardening tools, voracious with their weed pulling and excited by the bugs and buds. I knew gardening was great for kids, but I was still just a little surprised at how organically it all happened. If you think of it this week take a moment stop by the Garden with your kids and see the beginnings of our work there…perhaps you will be inspired too.
