August Gardening

Oh my goodness, we've done so many fun things at our garden this month!

Our first week we got to harvest tons of indigo plants.

Then we stripped off all the leaves, put them in a blender, added water, and made our own dye.

Then the kids each got to make a tie dye bandanna with our dye- super cool! And we all went home with blue hands!!!

Our second week, we dissected flowers so we could learn about all of the parts.

Tori and Garrett loved using the magnifying glasses!!!

On our third week we got to make art using flowers!

Tori loved picking out her flowers! We made bookmarks and pictures to frame- so fun!

Today we learned more about composting- especially what we can put in a compost bin.

Then we got to explore some soil to see what bugs we could find!

To finish off, we got to help out with the compost bins in the hoop house!

These two did a great job with the sifting!

Our garden program has just been amazing! I love that Tori and Garrett love being at our garden and that we are all learning so much!!!
