Children need to know where their food comes from and one of the best ways to illustrate this is with a trip to an orchard. What fruit or nut grows near you? Take your children to an orchard so they can see, touch, smell, pick and taste right from the tree or bush. Visiting at different times of the year provides a valuable lesson in life cycles.

Growing your own fruit/veggies will allow children to see the life cycle process up close!

Want to learn closer to home?

After you pick the fruit, get the seeds and sprout them so children can see how it all begins.

SAVE THE BEES!
