Spend a day at the Desert Botanical Garden discovering how the magnificent desert mesquite tree sounds, feels, looks and tastes in this delightful one-day class for children. Participants will listen to the heartbeat of the tree, act out how mesquite trees suck water from deep underground, learn to identify three types of mesquite trees by touch, and pound their own mesquite flour for making cookies. They will also investigate the mystery behind the perfect little holes commonly found in mesquite bean pods and the elusive beetle that makes them, and create a craft using natural materials from the mesquite tree. Morning snack is provided; children should bring a sack lunch. Limit 12.
