How Does Your Garden Grow?

We've added a second gardening area to support our outdoor sciences.  With this new addition, we learn to care for our planet through hands-on science.  Caring for our earth and raising thoughtful individuals can come from the simplest ideas.  Digging in the dirt, massaging the root bulbs of tiny plants, gently placing them in the earth and spraying the water lightly on our plants gives our preschoolers a sense of responsibility.  I hope to share the importance of caring and respecting living things and provide basic scientific knowledge as they grow and prepare for their future education.
