Seventy children from the Summer Day Camp sponsored by MC Parks and Recreation were treated to activities on recycling, worm composting and plants from Missouri City Green and Fort Bend Master Gardeners. Campers planted seeds using recycled toilet paper rolls, studied and held composting worms, learned about the parts of a flower and made a coffee filter flower to take home. It was a great day for campers and volunteers.
