A very full heart after yesterday’s Lizzie Garden Day. Months of planning, generous gifts and a long weekend Saturday where the community showed up to clean yards, transport dirt, build planters, and plant are just the beginning of this community garden. Liz left us with a legacy of relationship building, love of the outdoors and a the value of believing in children’s capabilities as equal members of the community.
Toddlers, preschoolers and school age children all pitched in to build planters, spread dirt on tire mountain and water the gardens. The Florence adults shared their knowledge of plants and gardening, fixing skills and heavy work, contributing to lightening the load of the educators who are thrilled to tackle jobs we haven’t had the time to do.

For the second year in a row, a thoughtful Florence parent has set up a butterfly fundraiser for us 💛🧡
Last year, loved watching our caterpillars grow into butterflies and release them in the yard.
A beautiful way to experience nature in your own space with your children.
