Future scientists? We could see it!

Today was very productive! We welcomed three new members as we watered, replenished, and tended to our plants. We also brainstormed ways to welcome ladybugs and worms to our garden. It is possible that we have some future entomologists in the CLCS Gardening Club! Their knowledge of insects is quite impressive.

Welcome, Tony, Braelynn, and Alessandro!
Thank you to the Bodnar family for their donation of potting soil. 
When we moved over to the butterfly garden to pull weeds, we discovered two monarchs were waiting for us! This made us think that we should come up with a creative plan to build butterfly feeders, Mark Rober style.

 The students even caught a cricket! If you are considering coming to Reading in the Garden or if you are in need of a book for the summer, check out these recommendations from our gardeners.
These books are available via the bin outside of the Purple Kiva entrance.
