"When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment." - Georgia O'Keeffe

​The weather is warming up, birds are singing, and flowers are blooming! We've had so much fun here at ACG so far this Spring watching all the beautiful new growth and color from flower blooms all over our gardens. Along with exploring live plants and planting our own from seeds, we explored flowers through various flower books, lots of flower-inspired art, as well as many other hands-on flower projects. Check them out below!

Flower Dissections -- below are some of the natural observations the kids had while dissecting their flowers and making their discoveries!

"Oh! I see the little seeds inside!"
Picture

"Is this dirt or tiny bugs on my flower?"
Picture
Picture
"I think a bee must have sucked on this one before because there's purple up in this little tube."

"This kind of looks like a head. I going to use it to make a fairy at home."

"I'm still curious about this..."
