The day will look like this:
9:30am Arrive and Set Up (Please ARRIVE by 9:30am to set up so the children can begin their creating their arrangements by 10am.)

Please Bring:
1) ALL SUPPLIES needed for your children’s Floral/Fruit/Vege displays including container, clippers, ribbons, and a LABEL (with your child’s name) to be placed UNDER the arrangement for the judges when marking.
2) All animals need to have food and water and be able to be secured for the duration of homeschool group. - an obstacle course is kindly being set up by Rebecca’s husband for the dogs.
- When the children show their animals tomorrow, it may be nice for them to tell us - the pet’s name, how old it is, how long they have had it, and anything extra they might like to tell us about. (not too long though!)
3) A picnic lunch & blanket and drinking water plus sunscreen and a sunhat or jacket depending on the weather.
