Today we went to help and to learn at Dig in!, which is a beautiful local community garden whose mission is to help provide fresh fruit and vegetables to other local hunger relief agencies and to inspire people in the local county- Yancey- to grow their own healthy foods! This was the perfect place for us to learn about starting our very own vegetable patch, that Preeti is very keen on doing. And the added benefits are helping our new community and getting to meet people who are friendly and experts on gardening!
Here are a couple of interesting links for gardening related projects with kids- the first two links are citizen science links:
