Garnet Mesa Spring 2010

'Garnet Mesa Days' are the biggest field trip days of the season. There are about 100 kindergartners, 2 farms, 10 different education stations, 20 chaperones and 10-15 lovely community volunteers. This spring we returned to Lamborn and Zephyros Farms to take part in some spring-time activities.

We:

Brushed wool

Visited with mini-goats

Transplanted broccoli

Acted like honey bees

Held earth worms

Tried green smoothies

Harvested wild edibles

Planted beans

Played 'roots-stems-leaves'

Made personal germination chambers

Pet lambs

I do not know how teachers do it, day in and out. Those kid are wild! Or am I getting old?

THANK YOU TO THE FARMERS AND VOLUNTEERS FOR YOUR TIME & ENTHUSIASM!
