☀️🪴Our students enjoyed two wonderful mornings with a very special guest, Lisa Hilgenberg, grandmother of Zoe. As a former member of the Chicago Botanic Garden team, she brought a wealth of knowledge and expertise on how to properly plant and care for seeds as they grow. With her guidance, the children learned each step of the planting process. They carefully filled their pots with seedling soil, used their fingertips to create small holes, placed their seeds inside, and gently covered them to secure them in place. The kids are so excited to watch them grow! We are so grateful for special visitors like Lisa who help bring our curriculum to life in meaningful, hands-on ways. 🪴 ☀️
