Here is a good article talking about the type of preschool that we will be offering this fall. I've been wanting to run something like this for many years and things are finally coming together to make it reality. Hope you will come and join us.

May 5 and it is chilly and wet...
So we made it to May and our weather for 2016 here has been winter, to summer, to spring, back to winter today. Yes it may be chilly here but it is cold on the high mountains around us. Here are some pictures below to show it. Both are Mount Mitchell. Here is the link http://nchighpeaks.org/Webcams So while we work in the gardens and prep for summer camp programs, winter is reminding us that it will soon return.
Spring garden
So despite the all the hard freezes in early April things are coming along nicely in our garden beds. Arugula, Spinach, Cabbage, Peas, Leeks, Lettuce, and most importantly Strawberries are doing great. This is our first full spring growing and things are going well. Here are some pics.
Sometimes you have to stop and enjoy your surroundings
Sometimes we get so busy we forget to look around and take in all the wonderful things that surround us. Toddlers do help sometimes in seeing the small things that are amazing. Our kids found this newly emerged Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly yesterday, which I would have totally missed as I was thinking about things that needed to get done while we walked back to the house. Also there are some lovely spring wildflowers out right now. So I am going to try to be more in the here and now and take in what is around me, because there is a lot of wonderful things that could be missed otherwise. Don't forget about our Summer Camp and our Nature Preschool programs. Registration is going on right now.
Been working so hard we forgot to post...
It is the busy season. Between putting in new garden beds and protecting last years strawberries from the big freezes we have been going full tilt. Here are some pictures from what has been going on. Also don't forget about Summer Camp registration!!!
Spring is coming!
I think that all the animals are happy that spring is finally here. The grass is growing, insects are coming out, and the song birds are singing. We are working hard to take advantage of the weather. Planting, garden beds being finishish, and getting the meat chicken tractor ready. Also working on Summer Camp plans for the upcoming season. You can check out our Summer Camp information under the programs section on the site. Here are some pictures of what is going on.
