| Prairie View Farm's Children's Garden The Gardening Teacher, Miss Georgine, will lead campers in amending the soil with KELC's compost, designing, planting, tending and harvesting foods and flowers. Children will hear garden related stories told and read under the shade of an apple tree. They will play in the water and observe creepy critters that may be friends or foes of the garden. Picking and enjoying fresh foods and flowers is a natural reward all campers will earn. Out-of-the-ordinary experiences occur daily as campers meander through the garden noting animal habitats, places for pets and private refuges that offer shade from the sun. Vine covered arches, bushes and trees provide beautiful settings for conversations, songs and lessons.
