The Junior Journey Program recently introduced a group of children to the plant world of flowers, trees, fruits and vegetables. In the scores of gardens scattered about the museum grounds, kids viewed the native plants, grasses and flowers before donning gloves and grabbing various yard tools to try the age-old practice of gardening.
Leading the kids through the gardening class were Journey Museum Teen Team members Brandon Fleming and Alex Marrs. Fleming presented a PowerPoint session on gardening as well as gardening tips for transplanting plant sets into garden beds. Marrs, 17, acting as an assistant, helped the kids gather up their gear, garden tools and miscellaneous materials needed to do a plant project.Kayla Lindblom, 10, wasn’t sure of the kind of plants that she was working with, but she was anxious to get to work.“I have no clue what it’s called other than a bedding plant,” she said.
