Harmony Day was celebrated in the Little Sprouts Kitchen Garden with orange ribbons on our hats and orange flowers picked from the garden.
You can see harmony in every aspect of the garden: bees, wasps, grasshoppers and caterpillars are all busy doing what they do in all areas, in harmony with the plants and flowers around them.
