That was a saying on one of the Earth Day posters at my son’s school. Loved it.
Today was a very special Earth Day, marking the official dedication of our new butterfly-hummingbird garden at school. We were proud to be officially recognized by National Wildlife Federation as a certified habitat and by Texas Parks and Wildlife as a Texas Wildscapes Schoolyard Habitat Demonstration Site. It rained, but it was a perfect gift for Earth on Earth Day (here in Austin, rain is always precious), so we didn’t mind having to move the ceremony indoors.
And our students presented community and organization representatives with fantastic 3-D murals that teach about creating wildlife habitats at home.
Oh yeah, I got to be on the news. I even managed to speak coherently.
It was a good day. Happy Earth Day, everyone.
Once she was ‘just a garden blogger’ now she’s a full on Habitat Steward. I’m amazed by what you have achieved in such a short time. Well it seems short, when we just read about the ‘done that’ work.
It sure was a special day for our students, and everyday I get to enjoy the delight on kids’ faces as they visit the garden. It was all worth it. I’m tired today, though!
