In March our school took a fieldtrip to an agricultural school called IPA. At IPA they practice permaculture, which more or less means that they create self-sustaining, enviromentally friendly agriculture projects. Seven years ago this place was a barren field, and now it looks like the garden of Eden.. They are doing some really great work there.
The kids had a fabulous time. There was lots of plants and animals to look at. My favorite part was when the kids started playing around with this one plant (can't remember the name right now) that contains a natural dye. We all painted our faces and walked around this forest like area. It was sweet.
