Children’s Learning Garden, Lewes, Delaware, Lewes In Bloom, Events, Activities, Southern Delaware, Delaware Beaches…See Local Fruits, Flowers, Veggies Grow!
It is a beautiful day at the Delaware Beaches….a little bit of rain last night probably was more than welcomed by the Children’s Learning Garden, located in Stango Park near the Lewes Public Library on Kings Highway, as you enter Lewes, Delaware. In this learning garden families can see how local fruits and veggies grow.
I stopped to see it because even from the road it attracts attention. This garden was established in April 2013 by Lewes in Bloom. This organization started in 2002, just like everything else starts in communities throughout the United States with a small group of volunteers. Lewes in Bloom promotes the beautification and maintenance of Historic Lewes, and the community. It has won America in Bloom awards in 2003, 2005, and 2010, for cities with populations under 5,000. Please visit their website at http://www.lewesinbloom.org to know more about it, donate, and volunteer.
Families are invited to participate at the Children’s Learning Garden. Plenty of activities each week, free of charge, are on the schedule, all by Lewes in Bloom volunteers and members from the community.
Mondays – 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. – Story Hour with Miss Maureen from the Lewes Library! Litsten to her favorite books and complete a simple craft. Bring a blanket and picnic lunch to enjoy afterwards.
Thursdays in the Garden – Augst 1st brings Kids’ Zumba, August 8th is Kids’ Yoga, August 15th is Music with Miss Debbie, and August 22nd is Cooking with Miss Katie! What’s Growing in the Garden!
The Children’s Garden is such a peaceful retreat. Stop by and enjoy.
Please remember that donations are always welcomed. You may send your checks to Lewes in Bloom, P.O. Box 308, Lewes, DE 19958. Or, you may also donate online http://www.lewesinbloom.org. For further info., please contact Nancy Phillips at nandfp@yahoo.com.
