Albert Einstein: "Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better."
Children's art workshop under the trees. Living with Nature garden
On-site and hands-on learning
make our young children
wise and humble, with training
to call each other brethren.
Juvenile brain coral. Limestone, sedimentary rock
Remains of the living when dead,
buoy our living world, is well said
Hexagon cells of paper wasp nest. Mud dauber wasp nest
Cut each specimen into two,
study their profiles and show
symmetry and asymmetry;
learn about nature's geometry.
Petrified or fossilized wood. Chalky fossil of elephant's task.
Skeleton turned into rock in mythology;
true after all in today's scientific study.
Crown of thorns from Wild Cherry. Calabash piggy bank.
Skeletons of plants made useful
in every day life, decor and tool.
Mounted moths as wall decor and specimen.
Bird's nest, a simulated model
Wall and table decors, and lab specimens, too;
lessons for school, and house guests to show;
Piggy bank instills value of thrift and use of waste.
Bank with armor to protect master and treasure;
school project that instills character and future.
Mounted discarded beads crafted into Christmas tree.
Save the trees on Christ's birth is a sacred gift,
more so, to millions who shall reap its benefit.
Silkworms, composite relief painting
To the lowly insects, don't belie:
the purest cloth is silk.
the sweetest sugar honey,
brightest light from the firefly.
Teachers pose with artworks made of driftwood and fossils
at the Living with Nature Center
School-without-walls in town - welcome!
experiential, recreational, wholesome.
“One of the first conditions of happiness is that the link between man and nature shall not be broken.”- Leo Tolstoy ~
