Arbor + Etum = Place of Trees

On the first day of spring we had a fun, learning, wet time at the Washington Park Arboretum/University of Washington Botanical Gardens.  What a great way to expand on our study of plants. 

Here are some pictures of our trip.


A Latin lesson

An apiary! We're especially interested in bees. 


 
One of our favorite book series

Lots of native and non-native trees

An up close look



These walkers helped us with our scavenger hunt. 

We've set a record for rainfall this year and we could tell!

Helping to pollinate the hellebores. 





We learned about native trees and how Native Americans used them. 

A plank house wall


Making a fire

The sun came out for us on this first day of spring. We're all about hands-on learning and we can't wait to get into dirt up to our elbows! More to come....
