From Garden to Table.

Lately, during our baking experiences the girls have been invited to pick and taste some of the produce from our garden. The girls decided that it would be a good idea to put some chives, spring onions and silver beet on top of our pizzas, and to pick some fresh lettuce for our buns. The girls have been enjoying exploring the herbs and vegetables with their different senses. Smelling and tasting the herbs, and feeling the different textures as they pick them and hold them in their hands. When it comes time to prepare the pizzas, the girls work very carefully to evenly disperse the chives, spinach and onions and to make sure they look “lovely and delicious!”

Each week the pizza’s have ended up tasting very delicious, and utilizing some of our very own produce to enhance our weekly baking experience has been very exciting for the girls. It is a wonderful way to reinforce the idea that we can put effort into caring for and nurturing plants, and in turn we can enjoy the results of this.
