Who doesn't love a great story? Bring your lunch and listen to a classic read-aloud while relaxing under the shade of our trees! Then, each week explore a different part of the garden and complete a nature activity inspired by the day's reading. Includes a little literature, a bit of nature study, some artistic endeavors, science, geography, and more!
