Troop 2370 WMWD Garden Tour

Our girls had a great field trip to the Landscapes Southern California Style WMWD garden on the 13th.  While we were there our troop learned about where our climate, where our water comes from and using our natural resources wisely.  We owe Liselle from Western Municipal Water District a big "thank you!" for showing our girls around and doing a great job of explaining these important topics to them.

Here are a few pictures from our garden tour:




Attending this field trip allowed the girls to earn their green petal for their Daisy patch and gave them the opportunity to earn the World Thinking Day award.  If your Daisy would like to earn this patch, please have her bring her completed project about our garden tour to our next troop meeting on April 12th.  They can draw a picture, write about, or create art work about what they learned.  Once they share what they have made with the troop, they will get their patch.

The girls also have the opportunity to earn a special H2O Explorer badge from WMWD if they  complete specific requirements.  Just participating in the garden tour checked a few of the requirements off of the list.  If our girls do a few more activities on their own, they will qualify for this patch too.  To find out more about what they need to do to earn this patch, click here.  If your Daisy would like to earn this patch, please help her fill out the form on their web site (click on "ages 7-10), and turn in in to Mrs. Sharpe at our next troop meeting. 

If your daughter was not able to attend the field trip, contact Mrs. Sharpe to find out what she can do to earn her green patch.  Keep in mind that you can visit the WMWD garden any time during regular business hours and read up on the information while you are there.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Garden tour field trip!
