The week of Feb 1-5, GATE visited the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. Certified Master Gardeners gave courses about plant propagation, including the methods of cuttings, seeds, and division. it was great weather for this trip and we wish to thank the Junior League for sponsoring our transportation costs. The photo with two students and two grownups includes Ms. Ellen Hardy, the education coordinator for BBG, and Mr. Phillips, Master Gardener. Below is a letter from London, a 3rd grader from EPIC, reflecting on her experience. When I went to the Botanical Gardens, I felt excited. We learned about the Japanese Garden. Every end of March, the tea house is open. The tea house is in the Japanese Garden. They had a green house with cacti in it. I learned that propagation meant to make more of something. In the library, they had a little tea house model. It was a fun trip!
London EPIC 3rd Grade MANY thanks to Ms. Ellen Hardy who made the trips possible. And to Mr. Timothy Hogan, GATE teacher for organizing the trip. We are so thankful to wonderful community resources like the Birmingham Botanical Gardens who extend the walls of our classrooms.
