Sharing nature with kids

A school field trip today had me rethinking my volunteer activities in the future -- it's such fun to share nature with children, even on a chilly February morning.

It's magic to encourage noticing furry buds of Japanese magnolia or showing them a "tea" plant.

Even if it's not as vibrant as it is in spring, summer, or fall, nature (in the garden or in the woods) is always magic.
