It's the little things that feel the sweetest. Like picking a warm ripe strawberry on a summer morning. 🍓

When we were picking these, I was asked, "why do we call it a greenhouse, if it's not green?"

It's a safe space to grow our green plants!
This year our greenhouse is home to our carrots, blue berries, strawberries, and black berry plants. 🥕🫐

Our forest friends really like these plants, so they're protected in the greenhouse, so we can enjoy them as they grow and ripen! 🌱

We hope your summer is sweet! 🍓✨

We love reading to our chickens in the garden.

So many of my kiddos have started reading with Sandra Boynton books. We love them!

What was the first book your kiddos read?

Happy national ice cream month! We think ice cream tastes sweeter when it supports social justice.

What's your favorite Ben & Jerry's flavor?

Please check this out from Topsfield Police Department. It's important we keep our riders safe, especially if they're children learning.

Thank you for leading with education and care TPD. 💕

We ♥️ yoga class at !!

Being mindful of our bodies is an important skill to learn and I'm so grateful for Ms. Kat helping teach the power of breathing and regulation.

It is incredible to watch them have so much fun while learning how to pause, take a deep breath, and calm their bodies. From practicing their balance to learning new stretches and yoga poses, they are building confidence and body awareness each yoga class.

We have so much fun & love learning at Katmula.
Thanks for being here Kat!! 💕

Thank you for offering free admission to teachers this weekend! It was so fun to catch a double feature under the stars. The popcorn was salty & the fried dough was sweet! ✨

Toy Story 5 was adorable and wholesome. Have you watched yet? Let me know what you thought in the comments!

Just because it's now July, and Pride Month is over, it doesn't mean we take down our flag. In fact there's a few signs and flags that stay up all the time here at The Monarch Gardener as they are all symbols of inclusion, respect and above all: HOPE. And we hope that you - no matter your gender, race, country or planet you come from - know that we are a safe space and want everyone to feel welcome.
But because it's July my July newsletter is out! Find it in the comments and if you'd like to subscribe click on the 'subscribe' button in the upper left corner of the page that opens.
Don't forget reduced hours Friday 9:30-1 and closed 7/4. 180 Ipswich Road, Topsfield MA.

Ginger Spice is the tiniest chicken on our backyard farm. She brings so much love to our lives & keeps our buckets full. Peep her dancing around just out of reach from her fans! 😂🪣✨
