There was lots of smiling faces at the Gardens during the recent school holidays as children (and mums and dads) enjoyed celebrating the "Year of the Farmer".
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friends who volunteered to come and help make the activities run so smoothly ... Nat, Di, Bettina, Carmel, Sue, Joanne, Rosemary, Christine and Yvonne... and also the Gardens Education Officers Gemma, Lee-anne and Paul.
Many people said they really enjoyed themselves ... including one young lady who said "this is the best day of the holidays".Here's an update on what we did:
THURSDAY 5 APRIL - Origami Insects
We folded paper to make ladybugs and butterflies, which were attached to gift cards or hung as mobiles.
TUESDAY 10 APRIL - Wacky Windmills
We made paper windmills and decorated them in bright colours
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 14 & 15 APRIL - Fruit and Vegetable Printing
We printed bright designs on cards or paper, using cut apples, carrots, lemons, mandarins, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, brussels sprouts, mushrooms, cucumbers, celery and capsicums.
All these activities were held in the beautiful setting of the Japanese Garden.
