The Garden Needs You! * A few handy people to put together a metal shed (from a kit). The Outdoor Classroom and Garden have been bustling with activity already this fall, especially thanks to our unit on birds! In addition to learning how to observe the details of nature and care for our space and plants, we are now painting a bird bath made from terra cotta pots. We are also very much in need of the following:
Date TBA based on availability as a group.
* One or two handy people to pour a simple foundation for the shed, anytime.
* LOTS of 2L plastic bottles WITH CAPS… for making bird feeders
* Old wooden spoons/spatulas… for making perches on the bird feeders
* Pinecones, for making bird feeders
Gratefully helping our kids get dirty!
