scavenger hunt!

To start off the year, we sent our garden club members on a scavenger hunt.  The gardens hadn't been touched much over the summer, so there were lots of things to find and explore.


Our colorful rain barrel is full of water!  Now we just need to hook it up to a hose.


Sra. Melara had some handy bug catchers that we could use to observe those squash bugs a little closer.


The sunflowers are full of seeds, and they are always fun to pick out.


Find something beautiful?  Check!


The weeds were taking over the walking path, but the kids were undaunted.


The okra did amazing over the summer.  Some of them had dried and you could hear the seeds shaking inside the pods just like a baby rattle.


That's a lot of squash bugs!


Group shot at the beginning of the year!  It will be fun to watch them and our garden grow.


Scavenger hunts are always a great outdoor activity.  Here are some links to some already prepared lists to hunt for:

Ready? Set. Go!
