Week 3 of Kids in the Garden and Trip to Burr Oaks Garden on Monday!
I have to be honest that I wasn’t actually at the 3rd week of Kids in the Garden. I was lucky enough to get into a quilting class taught by Victoria Findlay Wolfe that day. So, I’m working off Diane’s notes for this blog post…
The kids started out by the rain gauge to see that we’ve had 5” of rain since last week…quite a bit of change since the 2012 season.
Next – it was time to measure the sunflowers. This week 3 of the sunflowers measured in at 7”, 9” and 6”. The main talk of today was about edible flowers. Please remember – only eat a flower, plant or berry that you find outside if a knowledgeable adult tells you they’re okay to eat. Never just eat something because it looks pretty or you’re curious.
Different flower’s that are edible:
- Bachelor Buttons
- Borage
- Calendula
- Carnation
- Chamomille
- chive
- daylily
- garlic
- lavender
- marigold
- mints
- nasturtium
- scabiosa
- stock
- viola
Three flowers were sampled by the children. The poll showed that 11 kids liked the pansy and 1 did not, 7 liked the bachelor buttons and 5 did not and that 8 children liked the Nasturtium and 4 did not.
Edible flowers weren’t the only thing on the menu. The children also helped gather mint leaves. They got to taste chocolate milk with mint. It looks like 12 kids liked it and one did not.
Once snacking was done – any of the leafy extra’s were fed to the goats.
The rest of the gardens had to be checked on as well to see how they were growing and if any work needed to be done in the gardens. I’m hoping Diane can fill in on anything exciting happened in this portion of the afternoon…
