Botanical Gardens

My favourite moments of the Botanical Gardens trip:

  • seeing the initiatives of our competent children- they sought out physical challenges, while the teachers' agenda was to support the learning in planting and to provoke further growth in the interest
  • enjoying the company of parent helpers- the dads who lifted up children to see what's behind the window; the Mum who patiently explained to her son what an ant mountain is; and then patiently waited for his son passing on the knowledge to three groups of children walking by, I think she is proud though !
  • being nicely looked after by a handsome boy, who, with a big smile, volunteered to put my coffee cup into the rubbish bin
  • Big thankyou to Michelle- she did the site visit before the trip; it was so well organised, especially the loop road is the just right amount of stimulation for our children, not too long, not too tired. I really enjoyed it. Thumb up to Michelle!

  1. Hey Judy,
    I enjoyed reading your reflections on your trip to the Botanical Gardens. I have never been and think I will have to make the trip out there in a couple of weeks time.
