A thrilling example of life imitating art!!

Touching and drawing the plant, writing their names, noting whether we like or dislike the smell, the garden comes alive for us.  

Discovering the citrus garden outside, students were amazed to see actual trees that produce food-- and that oranges are actually green when they are unripe!]]> 2022-04-29 06:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/livingstonealma/a6jcohpex9zad303/wish/2163872843
