This is the Firefly Scientists’ Community Garden and Playground at the Lemberg Children’s Center, an unusual integration of gardens and playgrounds, and home to a community of early childhood educators, college interns, and of course, joyful, inquisitive children. Our garden is a creative, exploratory space for our children and the community to experience nature, organic gardening, nutrition education and connections with each other during daily outdoor play. Here, children experience the natural world and build understanding of the fragile interdependence of all life.
