Parents taste camper creations

In the finalé to week one of the Garden's sentinel garden day camp, the parents were invited to partake in an organic meal and see what their children had made. Once again this blogger was right on time to get a few tastes of the fixings from the Garden and other healthy offerings. Main course was a salad with greens picked only minutes before from the lettuce bed, and salad dressing freshly made with herbs from the herb beds, topped with unsalted sunflower seeds. Dessert was a plain cone filled with a mixture of fruit pieces bound together with real yogurt. As an appetizer, there were fresh apricot halves filled with yogurt and topped with a walnut piece. During the week campers practiced preparing the recipes and made a recipe book to take home so their families could reproduce these garden pleasures in the future. Campers also planted herbs and flowers in the kids' garden bed.

In Week 2 of Garden Day Camp, participants will learn about good and bad bugs, pollinators and how to attract them, make natural repellents, and do many more fun activities. See ya there!
