PJ Library celebrates Tu B’Shevat at Norfolk Botanical Garden

IT’S A WRAP

PJ Library at Norfolk Botanical Garden: A Tu B’Shevat celebration

Nofar Trem

In celebration of trees, PJ Library in Tidewater visited Norfolk Botanical Garden for a guided tour on January 9. Families learned about the trees, plants, and flowers that are native to Tidewater and enjoyed a read-aloud of the book, Trees Make Perfect Pets by Paul Czajak. The children created a Tu B’Shevat craft, inspired by the wonderful fruits that grow on trees, and potted their own little plant to take home.

It was a wonderful experience celebrating Tu B’Shevat in nature.

The Kipling family learns about the life of a tree by looking at the inner rings. The Nicholson family creates their Tu B’Shevat craft. To learn more about PJ Library in Tidewater and to register for upcoming events, visit JewishVA.org/PJLibrary or contact Nofar Trem, PJ Library Program coordinator, at ntrem@ujft.org.

Children from PJ Library in Tidewater wish everyone a very happy Tu B’Shevat!
