CULTIVATING ABUNDANCE

All of the gardens on the property have food in them. The kids are exposed to the life cycle of some of the food they eat. They love watching the small shoots sprout leaves then flower then fruit. There is something new to see every day. Much like the kids, the plants are ever-changing. 

Some fruits need to be picked often. Once they start fruiting, the cucumbers need to be picked right away. And the kids love it! They rush to find the ripe (and sometimes not yet ripe) fruit. 

Interacting with the food in the gardens integrates interest, investigation, and independence.
