Helpful Tip: Plant a Garden!
The Children’s Spot located in Mansfield, Texas used TDA grant funds to plant an orchard with peach, apple, plum and pear trees.
The staff created a strawberry patch by taking 8 foot long PVC pipe, sawing it in half and suspending it along their fence.
The children took turns watering it and learned firsthand how seeds turn into plants that yield delicious fruit they can enjoy!
Here, the director, Debbie Nicholls, is with a student and a staff member tending to their garden while children in the background park are using the pedal bikes also purchased with TDA grant funds.
