As I enjoyed this first rain of our rainy season, organizing all the many photos from this last school year, I thought about the flowers of our Nature Center and Garden - from the California Native plants, to wildflowers, to vegetable and fruit blossoms, our students loved seeing them all. But no less important, are the many visitors that use the flowers as a food source, and a place to rest and breed - predators of insects, and the insects themselves, their important work was observed by the children, allowing them a glimpse of nature at work not readily available in many of their lives.
