Library Program-Autumn Trees and Leaves

On Saturday, October 15th the McHenry Garden Club and the McHenry Public Library held their program on Autumn Trees and Leaves. Jane Thomas explained how the leaves of trees change colors depending on the type of the tree. Joyce Matuszewich of the University of Illinois Extension Service Master Gardeners Program showed the children different types of trees, their leaves, and the characteristics of each. The children made 2 leaf projects, one with sponges and paint, the other with actual leaves which they placed on paper.
