Mornings from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm
Barn chores in pairs, with an adult beside them
Wear boots, long pants and layers you can take off
Older group, ages 4 to 5
The final year before kindergarten. Children take on bigger jobs: filling the water troughs, planting a bed from seed and keeping the garden journal.
Mornings from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm
