Blue is a Berry Good Color

Last week's gardening class was called "Blue is a Berry Good Color".  It was too muddy to go into the garden but there were still some fun activities for the kids.

A local blueberry farmer came to the class to tell us all about his farm and how he grows blueberries.  The kids all behaved amazing well and paid attention (it's been a tough year so far with the unconcerned parents and poorly behaving kids!).

After listening to the farmer, the kids got to color paper with blueberries by squishing them.  Rylan didn't freak out too much about his dirty hands!

Next it was time for a little taste-testing.

Rylan didn't even want to try his blueberries which made Carter very happy :)

Before leaving the kids checked out their blueberry bushes through the fence.  It's still going to be a couple of weeks before their blueberries are ripe but the bushes looked pretty full!
