🌺🥀🥀🪸🌾The rain has finally passed. The garden awaits the community to come out and enjoy learning about edible flowers. Last week, nine eager children kicked off our second summer session with enthusiasm! They harvested fresh potatoes, juicy tomatoes, colorful green and banana peppers, vibrant eggplants, and crunchy carrots. The kids also delved into the magical story of the Three Sisters Garden and observed how sunflowers cast shade, stunting the growth of the corn, beans, and squash—all part of our amazing garden adventure! Doris' delicious succotash was a huge favorite among the children. Huge thanks to the volunteers who helped make it all possible! Despite the heat and humidity, everyone had a fantastic time. This week's session promises even more excitement with Seafield Farm at The Garden sharing fascinating insights on edible flowers. We start at 5 o'clock; everyone is welcome.

The children from Kiptopeke are sowing seeds of promise, empowered by the University of Arkansas' generous provision of soybeans, as they tend to their growth and discovery in our garden's experimental plot, where each one has nurtured a sense of ownership by planting their own seed.

On a radiant day filled with sunshine, Kitopeake elementary school's second-grade class embarked on a journey of discovery in the garden, unlocking its wonders and sowing seeds of growth. As they explored the garden, they learned its rules, laying the groundwork for a day of exploration and development. The delightful tour was followed by an engaging activity where they planted flowers in pots, taking home not just a new plant but a budding sense of responsibility. Renowned illustrator Gail Scott captivated the young minds with her vibrant artwork on monarch butterflies and caterpillars, igniting curiosity and inspiring a love for nature. Fully engaged, the students asked thoughtful questions, actively absorbed knowledge, and developed tangible skills through hands-on activities like planting eggplants, peppers, and herbs. A visit to the strawberry patch allowed them to pick and savor their own harvest, relishing the rewards of their labor. Participating in soybean planting in the experimental section instilled a sense of contribution, while a nutritious snack rounded off a day that empowered these young gardeners with valuable insights and experiences.

New Roots Garden had the privilege of hosting Kitopeake Elementary School's second-grade class for an inspiring day of learning and growth, divided into two engaging sessions. During the first session on May 11, students received a warm welcome and introduction to the garden, followed by a guided tour that sparked their curiosity and wonder. Despite the challenging weather conditions, the children's enthusiasm and energy remained unwavering as they explored the garden's vibrant spaces. The excitement continued with a special reading session led by acclaimed author and illustrator Gail Scott, who brought her captivating book on monarch butterflies to life. Inside the greenhouse, students nurtured their green thumbs by planting their own flower pots, taking home not just a plant, but the memories of a day well-spent. Although the weather didn't permit outdoor planting, the children joyfully participated in hula hoops and tag games, showcasing their innate ability to find joy in every moment. The day concluded on a nourishing note, with a healthy and colorful snack that satisfied both body and soul, leaving a lasting impression on the young minds about the importance of positive experiences and personal growth.
