Hey there Green Paws kiddos! Take a look below to see what we are up to this week!

Kitchen Experiment: Send in your recipes for EGGPLANT!!! This purple fruit gets its roots from India and east Asia, where it is often used as a meat substitute for its ability to soak up fats, sauces and flavors , but is also popular in Mediterranean dishes like baba ghanoush, ratatouille and parmigiana.

#WaterWednesday: Meet at our Crossroads plot (on Post Oak Tritt Road, between Johnson Ferry Road and HTMS). Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0D4DA4AC29A2F94-waterwednesday1

This week we are watering / weeding, but next week we’ll plant seedlings for our Fall crops.

Environmental Project: Build your own Beaver Dam! Last week we looked at water wheels and how they create energy for people to use, but as we saw at Vickery Creek, a water wheel needs a steady supply of water - in that case, from a dam. Of course, we aren’t the only animals that engineer dams. Watch the video below and then follow this link to complete the beaver dam challenge at home!

Save the Date: It was wonderful to see so many of the Green Paws in person over the weekend for our Vickery Creek field trip. We’ll have one more field trip for this quarter on: October 10th. Sign-up to follow.
