What a fantastic day to play in the dirt!
Kids of all ages enjoyed decorating a flower pot and planting a flower for Mother's Day. Many had the chance to help artists Heidi Lung and Mary Nichols paint the first panel in our garden mural. The panel is nearly complete now. Heidi will have the second panel at the Ferguson Farmers Market on May 22nd for more budding artists to assist!
Between seed planting, eating, hula-hooping, eating, painting, flower planting, eating and playing king/queen of the dirt pile, the kids had a great time! Did I mention eating? It was nice to see all the fresh fruit devoured. Many also took take home a packet of flower seeds to try their green thumbs at home.
There were probably 60 people in the garden throughout the day, happy for the opportunity of a *free* fun-filled day. We look forward to doing it again next year!
