BRUNSWICK, Maine (WGME) — There’s a new spot on the Midcoast for families to connect with nature
The nonprofit “Growing to Give” unveiled its new Children‘s Sensory Garden
It’s a place that engages all five senses: touch, smell, sight, taste, and hearing
The garden offers activities for both adults and children
Leaders say it’s a great way to help the younger generation build a lifelong appreciation for where their food comes from
“We really feel like getting kids introduced to gardening and taking care of food at a young age is really important. It gets them exposed to where their food comes from and helps educate them on the importance of fresh and healthy food,” Executive Director Molly Cooper said
