Red Currant Berries

About Backyard Mama

Backyard Mama's mission is for every child to spend time outside every day.

The intention of this blog is to offer inspiration to do that. Take this tips and tools and use them, or contact me and I can run a program at your center.

Our programs take many forms:
* classes in your school or childcare center
* classes for camps or nature centers
* professional development through conferences and workshops
* professional development designed for your staff
* community workshops at libraries and agencies

We're always excited to design something special just for you!

As a child, my mother would take us to pick red currant berries, then we would make a jam that tasted bitter yet sweet. For me, the smell marks the beginning of summer.

To my great delight, our currant bush started producing prolifically just a few days ago, and here we go, it’s summertime!

What’s on your list of things to do this summer?
