First day at Camp CBG Part 1 -- by Izzy

In front of the Learning Center at the Chicago Botanic Garden. (CBG)

Today was our first day at Camp CBG. The camp we are doing is Alfresco Art. The first activity was planting Zinnias. We planted them in a decomposable pot that you can plant in the ground. Tomorrow we are going to plant our Zinnias in a bigger container. The second activity was visiting the Butterflies and Blooms exhibit. I was hoping a butterfly would land on me, but no such luck. 😞

                                      Before camp began, we explored the children's garden.

                                      This garden has hills to roll down and this cool little

                                       stream that surrounds the border. Kids can wade in it

                                       or play with little boats and watch them move with the 

                                       flow of the water.
