One of our moms (Mrs. Janette!) has a lovely garden and she invited us for a tour. She explained about each type of flower and plant as we walked along the path. Telling us the name, the conditions it needs and how to prune it as well.

She let each girl have a go with the shears (a brave woman!) 

The girls really enjoyed the hands-on and seeing, smelling and feeling of the garden. It was a great way to get them excited about their own little patches of earth!  We took some pictures of the different plants and trees and printed those off. Each girl then made a booklet identifying all the ones they had learned.

We also ended up with some seed packets that were made from her flowers!
