A week ago last Monday we were visited by a mob of 1st graders, most welcome visitors to the garden.
\nEarly that morning one of the teachers from the Theresa Elementary School which is just around the corner from us, came with a request. \u201cCould she and another teacher bring the 1st graders over for a visit?\u201d Who could resist a visit from first graders !!
\n2 or 3 times a week young students parade by, hand in hand, for a walk around the block. We had often thought of inviting some of the children over but we never seemed to get the chance and now. here they were.<\/p>\n

The teacher was Mrs. Walentuck and the other teacher was Mrs. Howard and they were in charge of about 35 or more inquisitive and very active children.
\nThe day was blistering hot, in the high 80\u2019s and the sun was hotter. As soon as they were down back we were met with a barrage of questions; \u201cWhat\u2019s this, what\u2019s that, can you eat this, can I have a flower, my mom forgot my sun screen\u2026..\u201d It was great to see them and for the most part they were genuinely interested in the plants and gardens.<\/p>\n

We finally split them into 2 groups, Phyllis took one and I took the other and we tried to give them an idea of what was going on from what we hoped would be a kids prospective.
\nThey stayed for around 45 minutes but had to leave because they had another class right after that. The time went by so fast and we would have been happy to have had them longer.<\/p>\n

Afterward the teachers brought giant thank you cards made from construction paper and with pictures of the kids in the garden. The cards were signed by all the kids.
\nHere are the cards.<\/p>\n
