The girls and I spent about an hour looking at cacti today at Wavehill (public garden in the northwest Bronx.) We sketched and took pictures and shared our excitement over these alien-looking plants!
we built an elf house today. big soft leaves for carpet, squash blossom petals for beds, acorns for cups... good times. sophie built them a walled off garden to store a collection of teeny tiny flowers.
I taught the girls about pollination and we visited (from afar) the apiary at wavehill, as well as the gardens where the bees feasted. Then we saw and tasted different types of honey in the gift shop.
