Amazing Gardens, Tree Climbers, and a Blossoming Spring: A Look Back

 

A lone honey bee visits a tulip in the Amazing Garden in Red Hook, Brooklyn

As we awaken from what seems like a timeless winter, we take a look back over the last few months and realize that much, indeed, has happened. The following is a sampling of the many trips taken by our Pre-K and Kindergarten crews to the parks and community gardens in Red Hook. Many thanks to the neighborhood gardeners who opened their gates and welcomed us in!

Late fall in the Amazing Garden...

Watering plants

Lunchtime in the garden

The plants really are amazing...

Winter approaches in the Human Compass Garden...

The Human Compass Garden offers many seating options

The wasps' nest is still here!

An early winter bloom

The frost covers everything

Is it snow? Is it ice?

A discovery between the stones

A worm! But wait... it has legs!

Winter in Coffey Park...

Snow covers Coffey Park

Look! There's trees in here!

Let's decorate this one!

Little snowballs make good ornaments

These branches make a good fort!

Look at all the pine cones!

Finding sticks that look like the letter 'L'

We found 'X' and 'Y', too!

A visit to the waterfront at Ikea Plaza...

Look what you can see!

Observational drawings

Spring arrives at the Amazing Garden...

Amazing tulips!

Sharing a rolly-polly

It's so cute!

More amazing plants...

One last sprinkle before we leave!

Coffey Park in the rain...

The rain brought out the worms!

What's all that sticky stuff on the tree trunk?

Is that a bird's nest? Can you see any eggs?

How high can you climb?
