the Kinder Garden

Caroline's class adopted a bit of dirt outside their playground in November. The shrubs that had been there were all lost in the storm. So, the students went on a field trip to Tom Thumb Nursery and each got to pick out six plants (any six bedding plants) to bring back to the school.


Some picked flowers because of their color, some picked ones based on smell (there is lots of rosemary in the garden), one picked plants based on height, but they were all very proud of their choices.


They brought their plants back to the school and lovingly planted and watered their little section of garden.

They continue to take care of their Kinder Garden each week. Who knew such an eclectic collection of daisies, snapdragons, pansies, mums, herbs and a few vegetables thrown in for good measure could look so wonderful.
