Tu B’shvat workshop attendee
“Thank you for helping us grow plants. I appreciate that you help us with puling carrots and naming the plants. I also loved that you told us the plant that ladybugs like. Now when we see a ladybug we out it on the plant. I like how you combine Torah and plant growing. Thank you for teaching us. ”
