Fall 2023 - Week One

September 15, 2023  •  Vol. 1

It’s been a great first week in our little community at The Honeysuckle Society! I have had so much fun exploring the garden with your kids.

On Monday we had our first nature walk around the garden and made a major discovery: beans! We dug in the dirt and examined the soil with a magnifying glass, introduced nature journals and created our first set of magic wands.

On Tuesday we harvested, went on a rainbow scavenger hunt, and dined on a cucumber from our very own garden.

On Wednesday, we made a mud shake to learn about the different components of soil, discovered another cucumber and designed some geometric sculptures with toothpicks and soaked beans. We also decided on names for the east and west sections of the garden: the “House-Bean” side and the “Bushy-Bushy” side.
