We had an amazing week in Worth County, and a visit to Cerro Gordo County on Friday. We spent a lot of time finishing up our projects at Art Farm Iowa. We spent time preparing for the Tree Selection and Demonstration Workshop.
For Art Farm, Lauren worked on displaying the origami butterflies from Monarch Moments as a sculpture and Taylor worked on putting up the Rising Star Garden sign. Taylor also spent time in the garden removing weeds and dead branches. The majority of the week was spent preparing for the Tree Selection and Demonstration Workshop hosted at the Worth County Fairgrounds. We spent time cleaning up the landscaping, setting up tables, and picking up items for the meal. At the event, we helped set-up and serve the food. There were over 108 people at the event, so it was a great turn out. We learned a lot about tree care and met many members of the community!
In Cerro Gordo County, we attended Fresh on Fridays at the Central Gardens of North Iowa. We brought our Monarch Moments project along with us. We taught youth how to make an origami butterfly and about the significance of butterflies in our area. Overall, it was another great week!
