Today we took our first class walk on campus! We had excellent family volunteers and we walked over to the Horticulture area. The teacher took photos of plants the children liked during the walk. So far the teachers have noticed that the children talk about flowers the most. When we asked what to plant in our garden at school, a large portion of the children said “flowers” of some sort. The children asked the teacher to take photos of flowers today during the walk, too. You can definitely see that represented in the photos uploaded to our Facebook page. Here is a link to that album:

We will have to see what kinds of flowers we may end up planting in our garden! Working on the soil definitely comes first, so we are hoping to get some safe soil for the children to handle and possibly some compost. Oceanside offers free compost if you are a resident! If any of you are able to pick up some for us, we (and our plants) would greatly appreciate it!
