Episode 06 Part 2 - Gardening with Children

Hello Listener, 

We hope you and your family are safe during this difficult time. Our April episode ended up being rather lengthy, so we decided to turn it into two episodes. Here is Part Two! (part one can be found here) 

In this episode, we give some tips and activities for gardening with children and talk about why we dislike Callery pear trees (21:15).

• The Garden in a Glove activity can be found here. 

The Native Plant of the Month: Pinxterbloom Azalea (25:45)
Bug of the Month: Eastern Tent Caterpillar (29:45)
Garden tips of the Month can be found in April part one episode found here.

All past episodes can be found on our website.
