We love the earth and we want to take good care of it.   Learn how your family can be 'earth friendly':
  • change light bulbs in your house to fluorescent ones
  • shut water off while you are brushing your teeth
  • plant a tree, they make oxygen
  • recycle plastic, glass, pop cans and more
  • be a good caretaker of the earth year round


 GARDENING -


Gardening with kids at an early age encourages their interest in nature and gives them enthusiasm early in life.   Children love all things natural.... whether it be playing in the dirt, planting a seed and watching it grow, digging up 'buried treasures' in the form of carrots and potatoes, or watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly.

Whether you make a little 'kiddy-sized' garden in your big plot, or maybe you only have room for a big pot or two,  this is  an exciting adventure for a child.   What a better way for a child to learn how to grow what they eat and to learn how healthy it is for them -- that they can grow specialty gardens that attract butterflies and birds -- how they can grow a gourd and craft it into a birdhouse -- and watch their pumpkin grow big for carving, and how they can roast and eat the seeds from it!

Gardening is fun, and a non-stop adventure for a child.  Let us help you get started!
