Children in the two-year-old “Explorers” class at the University Child Development Center at the University of Missouri–St. Louis examine their newly planted apple tree with the help of Carol Usery, a horticulturist in the grounds department at UMSL. The students assisted Usery on Wednesday (April 18) with planting an apple tree in the center’s garden. The planting was part of a lesson to demonstrate to the class where their food comes from, said Pam Daniel, lead teacher for the class. The photo was taken by Jack Crosby.
