Autumn is definitely the best time to look at leaves. They are important to a plant’s life, but also to our life. They take all that carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and create new, clean oxygen for us to breathe in. And amazingly, they are the only living thing that can produce its own food. The Kids in the Garden series encourages environmental stewardship and promotes a healthy lifestyle while the kids (and adults) enjoy discovering the science of our natural world. Each program includes hands on activities with project lists. Activity: Use Leaves to Create Gift Cards.
