When I got to the center there was lemonade, cheese, and crackers and mingling. After about a half hour we gathered and went up to a classroom where the head horticulturist of the park gave a presentation about conservation in the park. One of the new initiatives is leave no trace. So the activity was to decorate totes, that we can use to carry our trash out of the park. To decorate the totes we used broccoli. I stamped trees, while other people just used the broccoli as a brush.
The Dana discovery center, one of the visitor centers in the park. You can also borrow fishing poles here to fish in the Harlem meer.

My own gardening project to compete with Kristen's. I planted basil, thyme, and sage, hopefully they will grow.
Cute tote! Is this something you think is worth attending regularly?
ReplyDeleteI think I will go back. June, July, and August look like they are all interpretive walks through different areas of the park, but September is exploring Jazz through film... who doesn't like jazz and film?
ReplyDeleteLove the Broccoli print! How are the herbs doing?
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristen. I carried my broccoli bag today and it worked fabulously. Two of the herbs are going strong and are about an inch tall, the third has two plants just peaking through the soil. I didn't label them so I'm not sure which is which right now :)
