Queens Park Greenhouse Field Trip

 We've lived very close to these greenhouses for years and we know the previous caretakers but we've never actually been to the greenhouses.  On Thursday we finally got to see all the goodness inside.  I'm a huge fan of succulents so I was in for a real wonderful surprise.  I think Mckenzie felt a bit more casual about it.  But aside from it being so fun to see all the gorgeous succulents it was a great field trip for more than just his Architectural Landscape class; it was great for us because as you know we've been doing lots about the diversity of life.  Seeing so many different plants and flowers (not so many flowers because of the season), was a good conversation starter to discuss the many ways we could classify all the amazing creation around us. 





 Each child was able to plant their own succulent to take home (and the parents too!!!).  What a nice way to end the tour.  All the kids did a great job of planting, they all looked so great.
