Volunteering at Native Plant Nursery

It was was exam/break week last week on our homeschool calendar . Monday and Tuesday were exams, mostly only for Daniel. Wednesday morning we went to Elderberry Farms Native Plant Nursery at Rancho Cordova.

Daniel is working on a school project "Attracting Pollinators to Your Garden" for both the Nature Bowl  hosted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the SCOPE Project Fair. It is a tiny nursery run totally by volunteers. We were assigned to pull weeds from the walk way and were treated with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch after work. We then bought several plants to take home and plant in our yard. James got distracted after half an hour or so. Luckily, one of the volunteers brought along a friendly golden retriever, who James had fun playing with.
