The children had a wonderful time visiting Owen's garden yesterday. Bronwyn and Owen gave us a tour around their lovely garden. They showed us the different types of lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, and many others. They even got to pick some lettuce from the garden and help Bronwyn plant some new ones. The children asked why there were flowers in the vegetable garden and Bronwyn explained that they need the flowers to attract bees and butterflies to pollinate the plants. Owen was really eager to show us their compost bin. The children were really surprised to see the inside of the compost bin and Bronwyn opened the bottom flap to show the rich soil that formed from all the decomposition in the bin.
After the tour, the children had a snack made by Bronwyn and Owen. They made chive biscuits with the chive picked fresh from their garden. The children loved it!
Thank you Owen and Bronwyn!

Thank you Mary, Bronwyn and Owen!
ReplyDeleteOrin had an amazing time at this field trip.
He really enjoyed seeing all the plants and the food. :)
Before he went to bed he even sang a rap he made about plants, carbon dioxide and the sun. I am always amazed at what he shares and how much he learns from the CM community.
Thank you!!

I love that the children can learn from each other. This field trip must have really given Owen a great sense of pride and it helps the children celebrate the achievements of one another. I wonder how many other children have gardens and if we might make a collage from photos everyone could take of their special places like this.

From Bronwyn...
ReplyDeleteWe had such a great time, even though Owen was a little over excited. We really enjoyed the visit and it was fun sharing our veggies with you.
Once I get some tomatoes I may drop them around for the kids to see how they grew and were so different.
Thanks again for taking the big roadtrip.
