🌿 Stroud Jr Landcare – What a wonderful day! 🌿
A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Stroud Jr Landcare today! 💚
We had a lovely morning checking in on the plants we’ve been growing and planting along the creek. The kids gave them some much-needed TLC by clearing the weeds around them and adding a layer of wood chips. 🌱
The wood chips help suppress weeds, retain moisture in the soil, regulate soil temperature and gradually add organic matter as they break down – giving our young plants the best chance to establish and thrive. 🌳
Then it was time to get creative! We headed off to forage for natural treasures, using leaves, bark, seed pods and other finds to inspire and decorate our clay creations. Some were imprinted with their nature finds, while others were completely inspired by the shapes and textures around us. 🍂🪵🪶
And we had a very special visitor! 🥰
One of our keen-eyed Jr Landcarers spotted a possum and her baby high above us. They stayed nearby while we settled down for our story – and what could have been more fitting than reading Possum Magic together! 🐾📖✨
A beautiful morning of caring for Country, connecting with nature, creativity and community. Thank you to all our wonderful Jr Landcarers and families for making it such a special morning. Looking forward to seeing you all next month! 💚🌿
