“Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, water bugs, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, trees to climb. Brooks to wade, water lilies, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pine-cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets. And any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.” Luther Burbank (American horticulturalist and botanist, 1849-1926)
