Summer Camp at HBMH: Gardening

“Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives.” – Thomas Berry
We kicked off summer camp with an exciting and hands-on gardening theme, which of course, went successfully!
Over the past few weeks, we have been studying gardening. Our Apple classroom conducted a lima bean experiment to see how the bean sprouts and grows. Try it at home to see how big your bean will sprout!

We also pin-pricked various flower patterns, placing them on our wall-garden.

Next week’s summer camp theme “United States of America”, is sure to be just as exciting!
Happy Gardening!

Busy fingers explore the soil beneath our pepper plants. Our friends enjoy learning about the growth cycle of peppers, amongst many other vegetable, fruits and herbs that adorn our garden beds.
