At Quaker Meadows Generations in Morganton NC, we started our garden project! Parents, children and community volunteers assembled garden boxes and filled them with potting soil. Volunteers from Western Piedmont Community College Early Childhood Education program assisted children and parents in planting seeds and flowers. All participants enjoyed this activity! We have never had the opportunity to add some "green" to the center and this project will be incorporated into all aspects of our curriculum - science, math, literacy, dramatic play and art.
