We had so much fun this summer adding something new to our Nature Explore playground! This year we decided to add a chaos garden. We took one of our planter boxes and we got the dirt ready by pulling any weeds and getting it nice and fresh. We then picked out flower seeds that we liked and put them all over the planter garden in hopes that we could have some pretty flowers bloom! The kids loved it. They had gloves and gardening tools and so many questions were asked about the process making it such a fun learning experience!

This year was the best year for learning opportunities as far as wildlife, gardening and implementing science into our daily routine, just by being outside on our playground! The kids loved planting the flowers so much, we are going to do another chaos garden and we are discussing what else we would like to plant for next year.
