Here are the lyrics:





Magic of the Garden- by Barbara Fay (to the tune of: It's a Small World)


We all arrived at UBC
To learn about garden ped-a-gogy (sing garden quickly)
From near and far
Here we all are to
Explore our outdoor world

Fennel, mint and lem-on balm for tea (sing fennel quickly)
Susan, Mari and Tat-hal-i
Poems, stories and songs
One and all sing along
Explore our outdoor world


Chorus
Ex-per-ience this tranquil space
See and smell, hear, feel and taste
Be still, be present with this place
Magic of-the - gar-den (sing magic quickly)

Guest speakers came with tales to share
Traditions, respect - get a bucket chair (sing respect quickly)
Putting faces to names - weaving, math, name games
Explore our outdoor world

Froe-bel's gifts new terms to share
Write our blogs, read the posts, take care
From beginning to end the gar-den our friend
Explore our outdoor world

Chorus
Ex-per-ience this tranquil space
See and smell, hear, feel and taste
Be still, be present with this place
Magic of-the- gar-den (sing magic quickly)


We talked of arts and outdoor school
And Belva Stone is OG cool!
Storyboard of dragonflies (sing storyboard fast)
Lots of laughs, flew right by
Explore our outdoor world

Man-i-festo writing to fireweed
The best lattes at The Bean Scene
Linden trees, poems of leaves
Sound-scaping with ease
Explore our outdoor world

Chorus
Ex-per-ience this tranquil space
See and smell, hear, feel and taste
Be still, be present with this place
Magic of-the - gar-den (sing magic quickly)

Bridge the gap 'tween old and young
Farmer Jim, the kids - what fun!
Tears flowed, his house sold
Just knock - be bold!
Explore our outdoor world


Leaf groups and walk for miles and miles (sing leaf groups quickly)
Fresh food on roofs and lots of smiles
Make some lunch, take a bite
Risky play - it's alright
Explore our outdoor world


Grab some gloves get your hands dir-ty
Helping hands for Em-ily
Mem-or-ies start to end
Orchard Garden our friend
Explore your outdoor world

Chorus
Ex-per-ience this tranquil space
See and smell, hear, feel and taste
Be still, be present with this place
Magic of-the- gar-den (sing magic quickly)

To the wonderful professors, guest speakers and my amazing group of
colleagues/friends- thank you for sharing this special time and place with me. ..I will
forever remember it and each of you. Best wishes in exploring your outdoor worlds.
