Children’s GardenFamily/Community Night
August 16, 2007
On August 16, 2007, the
HSBC Children’s
Garden had a lovely evening
activity, starting off
with a pot luck dinner at 6PM.
About 15 children and 15 parents
attended, bringing dishes
representing their cultures to share
with others.
After the meal, the children went outside to explore the Garden at night, including a game where they discovered their ability to use their
ears to find their food by imitating bats and moths. As it turned darker, we learned about
building a fire and fire safety, followed by our own campfire.
As the fire grew, we heard a Native American story about how a hummingbird
got his colors. Then, we roasted marshmallows, melted chocolate and
made delicious s’mores treats for all to enjoy!
