Achievement Girls Learn About Gardening

Picking Strawberries

     A yearly tradition for Achievement Day girls is to visit the Kerr farm and have a "working" tour of the garden. Their first stop was the strawberry patch were Brother Kerr taught them which strawberries to pick and how to pick them.

More Lessons to Learn

  Next the girls picked (and ate) from the blackberry patch, tried some green peas, pulled onions, dug up potatoes (the most exciting event of the day,) picked cherries, and fed the cows.

Strawberry Shortcake and Swimming

  Dottie Bernhoft (not pictured) was there to help, and washed the strawberries while the girls were checking out the rest of the garden. Then using paper plates for cutting boards, they sliced the berries and served up strawberry shortcake.  Even more happiness happened in the swimming pool.  Everyone had a great time, and went home with a bag of garden goodies.  Ginny Shull is the Achievement Day leader and says it is the best calling in the Church.
