Botanical Gardens!

We have been focusing on plants the past few weeks. We learned about their different parts and  functions. We also learned about their life cycles and we even grew our own pinto bean plants in class. 

We were so excited when we found out we were going to be able to go to the Missouri Botanical Gardens for our first field trip this year! 

When we arrived at the gardens we were split into groups for guided tours. We visited multiple greenhouses that represented different biomes. Our guides were friendly and very informative. They even quizzed us on what we knew. 

                              

After we explored the garden, we visited the Wyland Exhibit and learned about keeping our water clean!

                                    

We even got to take part in creating a mural outside! We were cold outside but we toughed through it! 

                                    

Afterwards we got on the bus and rode to Tower Grove Park. We had lunch and played on the playground. It was a blast!
