Abigail Beauchene & Tabitha Korab (Young Cultivators of Jackie Beauchene #6270) have received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner Level Green Thumb Kids Merit Badge!
“The girls tasted fresh apricots, kiwi, lime, mango and beets. They were honest in their assessment which made me happy.
They ended up learning what each fruit or veggie looked like and tasted like. Even about the centers. Mango and apricot have pits. They learned that they are not native to our area. I feel very good about this teaching for them.”

Abigail Beauchene & Tabitha Korab (Young Cultivators of Jackie Beauchene #6270) have received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning a Beginner, Intermediate & Expert Level Bloom Where You're Planted Merit Badge!
“The girls collected five plants and we dried them for a couple of weeks in a plant press. They then glued the plants to the front of a card that they can give to someone on a special occasion. They wrote the names and a description of the plants. They shared the information with family members and found the info. quite useful. They were able to read the scientific names and also the medicinal uses for each. We transplanted an elderberry bush that needed help as it was laying down, into the front yard so that the birds and insects could enjoy it.
They did such a great job and learned some very valuable skills.”

Abigail Beauchene & Tabitha Korab (Young Cultivators of Jackie Beauchene #6270) have received a certificate of achievement in Garden Gate for earning an Intermediate & Expert Level Green Thumb Kids Merit Badge!
“The girls tried apricot, kiwi, lime, mango, and beet. They also planted their own strawberry plants in their yards to take care of organically, as they were given instruction on how to do so. We visited a local Farmer's Market and had a wonderful time. When asked what we were doing today, we were pleased to announce that we were in the middle of a young cultivators group.
They found out that these certain fruits that they were not able to try before, they either liked or did not like. It was eye opening to see that some of them they could not name. Also to find out what the word organic meant and how to conduct such a task was a new thing for them for which I am excited about. We just loved the Farmer's Market and they were able to see locally grown foods as compared to what they had eaten. They tried some of the food and were very pleased with the taste.”

Abigail Beauchene & Tabitha Korab (Young Cultivators of Jackie Beauchene #6270) have received a certificate of achievement in Stitching & Crafting for earning a Beginner, Intermediate & Expert Level Toys Merit Badge!
“The girls talked to parents, grandparents, brothers and uncle about toys they used to play with and were told how they have changed over time through this. They made finger puppets while discussing with me how times have changed and the positive and negative about it. They then put on a show with the finger puppets.
They really enjoyed themselves. I am hoping that they think about this in the future next time they are enjoying their toys.”

I made my mom a pretty button bracelet. It was fun and my friend Al is showing it off in the picture.”
