Herbs and Teaching Kids about the Environment

One of my favorite clients, the Outdoor Education Center of Orange County, Calif., contributes a bi-weekly column called “Seeds to Sprouts” in the Home & Garden section of the Orange County Register.  The column runs every other Thursday online and every other Saturday in print.  I assist with editing and, in a pinch, with photography.  Because the Outdoor Education Center provides educational programming that focuses in part on environmental stewardship for local youth organizations, our photography goal is to provide images of Orange County children in nature.

 

I am excited to report that my daughter, Sabrina, was the model for this week’s “Seeds to Sprouts” article entitled, “Mini-Gardens For Kiddie Chefs.” 

The article, written by Christine Kirk, talks about herbs that grow naturally in Orange County and ways to get kids interested in growing their own herb gardens at home for use in the kitchen.  It also suggests what herbs to grow and how best to grow them.  To read the article, go to: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/herbs-garden-kids-2104773-kitchen-seeds.  Speaking of growing your own food at home, my son, Alex, was the photo feature of another of Christine’s articles, “Time to grow greens in the garden for salad making,” (not my first choice for a headline).  See the article here:  http://www.ocregister.com/articles/garden-tomatoes-summer-2062960-plants-salad.
