Marilyn's Photos - May 21 2026 - Children Gardening

 

From garden tours yesterday to pre-school children gardening today.  There is a school in Grimsby that is a certified outdoor school.  "Through nature immersion, children develop environmental literacy which encourages them to grow to be humans who are authentically connected to the world around them and are more likely to care for and advocate for the future of our planet and their communities."   Today the topic is compost. They will likely find this immense fun.  Last year we smelled leaves and herbs and the most common reaction was "Stinky!" So they should have similar fun this year with a little bit of vegetable scraps, herbs, leaves and egg shell bits.  They have already had a Green Bin day with Phil the Green Bin.  Here are some of the Waste Management Day pictures.  Pretty impressive to me. We'll be outside - which is where they spend most of their day.  It is an outdoor school.  So we'll spend our short time this morning digging, weeding and planting, and then watering.  That part will be the most fun if it is like last year, where they finished planting and started to make mud messes.    Here's a nice Orchard Grove.
