Happy National Therapy Animal Day!

Our seeds have sprouted! Last week, Virtual Academy students (K-8) enjoyed learning about native plants, trophic levels, biodiversity, habitat breakdown, and ways to rebuild. Students finished the lesson by planting some seeds to take home.

We planted seeds as part of our lesson on native plants last week. In just 6 days the first two leaves (cotyledon) have emerged.
Brandywine Community Library has many great books on Native Plants and the importance of fostering them. They also have partnered with several local organizations to provide free native plant seeds to the community. Stop by and check out the program.
There are dozens of native plant seeds available at the Brandywine Community Library.
