In the Nature Explore Classroom, the “Loose Parts” area has a variety of shells, pine cones, seed heads, and other natural materials for children to sort, touch and experience. Read more on the benefits of playing with loose parts here.
All ages will enjoy snacking on the ripe raspberries (southwestish by the compost bins) while they visit this month.
Every month, watch these emails for tips on what you can do at the Food Forest anytime you visit.
