This past week the children at Verner
searched for ladybugs for a citizen
science project and while no ladybugs
were found there were many other
bugs that will soon find a home in the
bug hotel that is going to be installed
this week. The children also helped
begin weeding an area where there
will hopefully be a teepee filled with
mosses and other plants that will be
fun to walk on and explore.
Some children became very interested
in making flower bouquets for their
classroom and families so we ventured
out into the field beside the garden to
find Queen Anne’s Lace, lots of clover,
and some other wild flowers that I am
not familiar with. The results were
beautiful and I hope some of the
bouquets made it up to the classroom.
A lot of the flowers ended up in the our hair!
The garden is full of color and looking
great! The tomatoes are bringing in
different shades of yellow and orange,
the peppers are an intense purple and
they are ripe and ready to eat. The
flower beds are looking extra colorful
with different shades of red, pink,
purple, and orange. While it is hot,
this sure is a beautiful time to be
spending days out in the garden.
