We're off to the garden center

Today our educational playgroup met at a local garden center where the owner met with us to teach us all about plants and gardening.

We learned the difference in "soil" and "dirt". We learned about seeds and sprouting. We learned about the importance of roots.



Nicholas loved learning about Elephant Ears. He was amazed that this plant really looked like the ears of an elephant!



After all the "learning" was done, there was some running around among the plants, exploring the fish pond, looking for the resident cat named "Patches", and some all around fun.
