Today, the children at the Christian school harvested fresh lettuce, kale, and tomatoes, then added carrots, string beans, and cucumbers to create their own salads in a jar. Afterward, they planted radishes and colorful tri-color carrots. A ride in the wheelbarrow was the perfect way to wrap up the day! The children also said goodbye to Ms. Sandy, their wonderful volunteer helper for the past month, as she headed back home.

Last Wednesday was a beautiful day in the garden. The children had a short lesson about garlic and planted several rows. Then they went on a scavenger hunt, and each child found a tiny pumpkin of their own. They were thrilled to discover their very own pumpkins. Afterward, we harvested eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes. The children were especially excited when they found a watermelon. We enjoyed it as a snack, along with several other delicious treats.

a wonderful day it was to be in the garden yesterday! The children joyfully harvested peppers, tomatoes, basil, and watermelon. They also created a charming vignette, adding to the beauty of the day. Beyond that, they planted broccoli, spinach, and a variety of salads, and each child took home a plant as a keepsake. Snacks were a big hit, featuring delicious pumpkin pie, fresh apples, and juicy strawberries. Everyone had such a fun time, and it's clear that the children are true little worker bees, full of energy and enthusiasm.😊😊

The children had a very busy day today after we had our joke session the children harvest, banana peppers, carrots, and also the soy beans that was planted back in the spring as a experiment that the University of Arkansas sent us seeds and from these seeds they sent to us we harvested 14 lbs. pounds of edamame. The Children also harvested basil. We also harvested a watermelon which the children had for a snack. We planted cauliflower kale, broccoli, and several different types of lettuce. The Children made homemade pesto using ingredients found in the garden and they had it along with some bow-tie noodles the watermelon they harvested, apples, and carrots. That was their snack for today. Busy first day back in the garden.

🌺🥀🥀🪸🌾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.
