This summer we are going to be involved in a family gardening program at Hilltop Gardens at IU. We seriously lucked out! They are providing our garden plot, all of the plants and seeds, and teaching us about gardening! Our first activity was finding different things around the garden. Tori made sure to mark everything off our list when we found them!
We found some beautiful flowers and even got to smell them!
Then we got to find some really soft plants!
This is Lea- she is running our program this summer! She was so cute with all the kids. Hurrah for learning new things- here they are smelling mint leaves!
Sadly, it started to rain really hard before we finished our tour of all the gardens- this place is huge. But that didn't mean we couldn't do anything. We got to help find worms in the compost!
Garrett thought it was great and got really good at it!
I don't think Tori was quite as excited, but she still found some worms and was pretty proud of herself for doing so!
Then we took that compost and helped to break it down even more. I love that we get to be so involved in everything and that our kids now know what compost is!
So excited for all the things we are going to learn this summer in our garden!!!
