Gardening Adventure

Summer Sunshine Gardening Camp was a blast!  We had the opportunity to explore several aspects of gardening, from actual planting to eating and food preservation.  We learned about nutritious and non-nutritious foods and parts of a seed, flower, and plant. 

 

Some of our favorite memories are husking corn and eating fresh corn on the cob, snapping and eating green beans, and learning how to make dill pickles.  The pickles have to brine for 6 weeks and then you can enjoy them!  We planted our own tomato plants to take home and watch grow. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Peace Garden looks much more beautiful, thanks to the industrious efforts of the children.  They dug in the dirt to help loosen the soil, spread out new dirt, and planted many beautiful flowers. 

 

 

 

We finished the camp with a fabulous water day!

Thank you again to whoever donated the butterfly certificate.  The children have watched the miracle life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly for several weeks now.

 

 

 

 

 

As we released them this morning on the play scape I asked the children what they had enjoyed most.

*  Their long tongue.

*  When they turned to cocoons & came out butterflies.

*  They knew how to fly around the playground.

*  My Cinderella was so beautiful.

*  When the butterflies came out of the cocoon they were so quiet.

*  All five ate their apple & orange snack.

*  Taking care of them every day.

*  I hope they are careful flying across the busy street.

 

To love and release isn't always easy. 

May all my children fly high like a butterfly!
