We recently discovered a beautiful booklet titled The Wisdom of Nature - Out My Back Door, a collaboration between Community Playthings® and World Forum Foundation. The focus is on helping children explore nature, reminding us:
"Once upon a time in the not-so-distant past, many children left the adult world on a daily basis and entered an outdoor world filled with fantasy and improvisations. Using sticks, branches, logs, sand, dirt, water and other natural materials, they built castles, houses, ships, rockets. As they ran, jumped, dug, climbed, slid, twirled and whirled, their imaginations took them across the prairie in covered wagons, up the tallest mountain, into outer space, and on high sea adventures. At the end of the day, they returned indoors dirty and tired but feeling happy and confident, competent and full of stories."
With warmer weather upon us, we encourage not only children, but the child in all of us, to get outside and play!
To "...help children learn to love the earth before we ask them to save it" check out The Wisdom of Nature-Out My Back Door by clicking here. You will then be able to browse a .pdf file or order a copy.

Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park
A recent visit with a client to Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan was a sensory delight.
"There are many areas within Meijer Gardens to explore including the indoor gardens such as the tropical conservatory, Victorian, carnivorous, and arid gardens, as well as the outdoor areas like the Children's Garden, Michigan's Farm Garden, seasonal gardens, the world-class Sculpture Park and meandering nature trails and boardwalk." (Reference: Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park web site)
We were inspired and awed by the beauty and recommend the Gardens as a must-see destination for your summer travel plans.

IU South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center
The former Engman Natatorium in South Bend was recently dedicated as the Indiana University South Bend Civil Rights Heritage Center.
"Inspired by the study of the Civil Rights Movement, students at IU South Bend founded the Civil Rights Heritage Center to record, preserve, and celebrate the struggles and extraordinary achievements of citizens committed to social justice. In partnership with schools, community organizations, neighborhood centers, and local government, the Civil Rights Heritage Center uses local and national civil rights history to promote social justice through individual responsibility and improved race relations." (reference: IU South Bend: Civil Rights Heritage Center web page)
Lehman & Lehman, Inc. is proud to have been a member of the project team in the preservation of such a significant piece of civil rights history, and congratulates all those involved for their perseverance in developing the Heritage Center and adjacent Peace Garden.
