A visit from Marvin's Organic Gardens

Last month Wes Duren, from Marvin's Organic Gardens, stopped by to chat
with the group about gardening. He told the kids about the importance of
worms in gardens and brought lots of soil for the kids to touch.

The soil was very soft and fun to squish in our hands!

Mr. Wes passed around several different types of herbs for the kids to
touch, smell, and even taste! The lavender smelled very nice.

Tasting one of the herbs.

Mr. Wes will return next week to help us start our
edible forest (the first phase of our nature playscape).
We will be planting eleven fruit trees!
