What a perfect day to have neighborhood children explore the Secret Garden!! The weather was superb for gardening and outdoor crafts! The children galloped through the garden gate into the sunny warm garden. The leaves from the plum trees had turned a deep burgandy and the Datura blossoms were in full bloom; a lovely Californian Fall day it was.
We welcomed the children into the garden with snacks and juice. Everyone received a shovel to get dirty with!
They were so excited to help lay down the brick pathway and curiosity abound with the earth worms as the photos below show up and close:)
Thanks to the crafty little hands of the 8 children that took part in the days activities, the garden is now decorated with beautiful paper Bees. The sparkly glue was a big hit.
The day was successful and the children left with more excitement then they entered with. They asked us when they could come back!
For all of you that are curious out there regarding garden hours, whenever you see the garden gates open, please come in!!!!
warmly,
the garden group
