Arboretum
Now that spring is upon us and the weather is getting warmer, it is time to start planning some outdoor family time. Here are 5 things families can do for free to enjoy spring.
- Take a hike. Visit a local park and take a stroll looking for signs of spring. Beautiful flowers and plants are beginning to bloom. If you visit a park with a pond or lake, it is likely that you will spot some baby ducks.
- Visit a local farm. Many area farms welcome visitors to view their animals. Kids can learn about farm living and what food products come from the animals on a farm.
- Plant a garden. Whether you have a large yard or a small patio space, make some room to plant some veggies or flowers. Kids often enjoy digging and planting. They also love to watch to see how their seeds develop into new plants. Planing a vegetable garden is also a great way to get picky eaters to try new foods.
- Stargaze. Clear evenings in the spring are a great time to gaze up at the sky. Look for the constellations Leo the Lion and the Big Dipper which are present in the spring sky. Also, attend free stargazing events.
- Attend a free concert. Keep an eye out for local musical events. Spring is usually the beginning of outdoor concert season. Bring a blanket and a picnic and enjoy the sounds of spring.
