Discovery Garden

The other day I was helping my mom set up her preschool classroom which is located on our church property in Wayne. This past year they have added in a discovery garden on part of the back property; adding onto the meditation garden that has been in place but overgrown for years. Not only has the addition of the discovery garden made a part of the property usable again but it has been a great teaching tool for children about nature and animals.
Here are some pictures of the garden and some of the new plants that have gone in.
