Taking root in the month of May, our friends focused on botany as we began planting the seeds that would grow our summer program over the course of the next few months; each session taking our learning experiences to new heights. We learned about the importance of plant life and what we can do to contribute to the cycle of life. Most days of the week, we would tend Rooted & Rising’s Community Garden where we intentionally planted a vegetable garden and a butterfly garden, to utilize for later purposes.
