Garden Helpers Nature Study Video Class
In the upcoming No Sweat Nature Study LIVE video class about garden helpers, make a chart of several specimens while learning about each one’s helpful job in the garden. The weird and wonderful jobs that garden helpers unwittingly do are amazing.
By the way, creating a nature journal chart is a wonderful way to get an organized look and quickly sketch several specimens!
