We have rotating varieties of ornamential flowers, medicinal and culinary herbs, fruits, and vegetables on our outdoor play yard/farm. The kids learning valuable lessons in full circle agriculture-they are actively involved in composting, lessons on soil health, seeding and planting techniques, growing conditions, and uses for each type of plant. They cut and arrange flowers to beautify our indoor clasrooms, harvest food to sell at our farm stand (sustainable harvesting practices, money handling/saving/spending, customer service skills), harvest medicinal herbs which we make into products to benefit our bodies, also for sale at the Farm Stand (entrepreneurship, DIY confidence rather than consumerism).
