Learning from the dirt: Saint Mark kids are introduced to gardening

Preschool and kindergarten classes at Saint Mark United Methodist Church have the opportunity to plant flowers in either the fall or spring garden. 

Children excitedly monitor the growth of their special flower each day. While studying insects in the spring, they observe the metamorphosis of caterpillars into butterflies, and then release the butterflies into the garden to further enrich their study of nature. The opportunity to dig in the dirt makes learning even more fun.
