Wildlife Gardening: Stepping stones, 1 by greenbrain

I recently learned that my niece WORKS at Missouri Botanical Garden in the new Children's Garden. I started taking her along on family outings when she was 10 years old. She e-mailed me recently with the news and boy was I surprised. I know how much she loved going along as a kid. I guess that she's been bitten by the gardening bug-- though her mom; my oldest sister; always was the real "green thumb" in the family. I'll have to post some of our fav photos from MBG taken this past summer. I'll also try to get some good fall photos to share. Here's all that I could find for now taken last fall. My lil' gr-d always runs to sit on this sheep and cries when I take her off. That's her Auntie sitting behind to make sure that she doesn't fall. In the background is the entrance to the Chinese Garden and in front is the new Children's Garden. Off to the far left is the Climatron and to the right the Kemper Home Demo Gardens. We plan to visit tomorrow after church. I'm really looking forward to it. I believe that the English Woodland Garden has some woodchip paths edged with logs. You notice these things when you're pushing a stroller. I'll try to take a better look tomorrow. : )
