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!
