A visit to Southland's Nursery

Community Connection: a field trip to the local greenhouses as Southland's Nursery

It was a wet and rainy day but the children were eager to take a trip on the bus and visit a local greenhouse. After researching images of greenhouses the children discovered that the houses are not green but the plants inside of them are!
The people at Southland's Nursery were very welcoming and the children were free to look around the buildings and see the many beautiful flowers and plants growing. As a gift we were given a small seedling starter kit with packages of seeds for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and flowers! The children graciously said thank you and look forward to growing our own food "just like they did in the old days"

A display gave the children an opportunity to see many things that were used in people's houses long ago!
