Back at the Botanic

Today was my first day of volunteering at the Chicago Botanic Garden for the year. I worked with a group of delightful 2nd graders from Humboldt Park in Chicago. We studied plant parts. They loved working with the equipment--two way viewers, magiscopes--a simple microscope and magnifying glasses. Then we went for a walk through the garden to the greenhouses. A good time was had by all.
