Trads Nursery tour

This week, with our homeschool group, we took a tour of a local nursery.  Very impressive operation they have going.  They grow a lot of veggies to share with a local food bank - they have chickens - and they are very determined to increase home gardening in the city, and also to educate children about where food comes from.

The garden in the kids section.  The kids got to take fresh lettuce, and feed it to the chickens!

The tour guide, talking to the group - the little house is the chicken coop.

Each child got to pick a 4" veggie to bring home.  Caleb chose a tomatoe. 

We will be going back this week to get more veggie plants - their prices were much better than Lowes.  They also grow most of their plants there at the nursery, and use as many organic methods as possible.  I think I found a new favorite store! :)
