Gardening with Children with Mary Helen Phillips. From Tye Preston Memorial Library’s newsletter:

“Does your child think carrots grow in the grocery store? Here is how to teach children how our food is grown and to encourage healthy eating habits. Gardening with children is a fun interactive activity for families and children of all ages. Through gardening children learn a myriad of science and health lessons. Besides all the incredible educational benefits, it’s fun to dig in the dirt.

“Mary Helen Phillips Master Gardener, Junior Master Gardener specialist and vegetable specialist will present an overview of the school garden program in Comal and New Braunfels ISD.

“Parents and grandparents interested in gardening with children at home or starting a program in a school or home school program are encouraged to attend. Teachers and school administrators interested in starting a school garden program are also encouraged to attend. A variety of school garden curriculum and 4 H programs will be discussed.

“Resources including a variety of Growing Good Kids literature will be reviewed and tips on how to start a successful program. Resources will also be provided for vegetables to grow in a spring garden. Recipes from the garden that are simple and child friendly will be reviewed. This presentation will be geared to the specific questions and needs of the audience.

Bring a tea cup, coffee mug or other container under 6 ounces to hold a scented candle.

Candles will be made with soy wax, dyes and candle fragrance, please alert the instructor if you have any allergies to these materials before the program begins. Register here.
