Bartram Garden Field Trip Opportunity

Just letting you know about a homeschooler opportunity.

At Bartram's Garden they are having homeschooler days monthly, there is more info on their website. http://www.bartramsgarden.org/

There is a cost, but we went last month, and it was very worth it for us. October 14 will be the next date.

Added info. From Sylvia D.

Jen C. and I took our kids to Bartrum's Garden last year and we all had a blast, even without a special program. It was like being in the country without leaving the city. It is located at 54th St. and Lindbergh Blvd. here in SW Philadelphia.

There is also a wonderful children's book about young William Bartram called "The Flower Hunter: William Bartram, America's First Naturaslist" by Deborah Kogan Ray http://www.amazon.com/Flower-Hunter-Americas-Naturalist-Outstanding/dp/0374345899/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1254572978&sr=8-1

This book would be a perfect addition to a visit to the Garden. It may be available at the library, I also own a copy that I would be willing to lend.
