In celebration of trees, PJ Library in Tidewater visited Norfolk Botanical Garden for a guided tour on January 9. Families learned about the trees, plants, and flowers that are native to Tidewater and enjoyed a read-aloud of the book, Trees Make Perfect Pets by Paul Czajak. The children created a Tu B’Shevat craft, inspired by the wonderful fruits that grow on trees, and potted their own little plant to take home.
It was a wonderful experience celebrating Tu B’Shevat in nature.
