Earlier this month we wrapped up our gardening program at one of the local early childhood centers. I stopped by today and saw that we finally have some fruit!! We had such fun spending four weeks together learning about the parts of the plant, what they need to grow, tasting fruit and veggie recipes, and of course we all got to get get our hands dirty!
