 Julia invited them in to her garden to touch the squash and get closer to some flowers and herbs. |  The campers sent us a letter after their visit. |
RIGC continues to reach out to Roosevelt Island In addition to our regular open weekend hours every Saturday and Sunday from May 1 to Sept. 30, we recently invited the Roosevelt Island Day Nursery Campers, ages 3 to 5 ,for an organized visit in July. They will return in August.
Campers learned about how each garden is private and individual like their cubbies and work trays. They learned how we share the whole garden like they share spaces at school. We toured some of the main paths, the front common area, and our composting system. The children predicted, observed, helped throw new materials and kitchen scraps into the compost, and enjoyed the sights and smells! They took some seeds back to school to examine and plant. Take a look at the work and learning they generously shared with us. As one little camper said, "Awesome!"

 These were the campers thoughts before the visit. Will this place be like a farm? Is it near the fire station? |  Anthony shared a tomato plant and green beans off the vine from his plot. He introduced campers to composting friends like earthworms. They loved the front common area and a ladybug came to visit them there. |
