For the past 2 weeks we have been studying the plant life cycle. We are also looking at animals that help in the garden too. Yesterday the children got to observe earthworms and their movement. Believe it or not every child held a worm:) Don't panic everybody also washed their hands after we handled the earthworms:)

Our flower garden is coming along. We got out all the weeds. Then we transplanted some of the lamb's ear plant, monkey grass, Japanese iris, coneflower, Brazilian verbena, and several others(thanks to my mom for those donations). Next we had to spread the mulch.(Thanks Shepherd's Mulch for the donation). Last but not least we added some petunias to give it some color until the other plants bloom. If you don't already know we are also having a yummy garden candy sale this week. We are selling candy to raise money for a new bench to go in the garden. We are getting close and it's just Wednesday:) If you would like to donate more candy for the sale or money for the bench it would be greatly appreciated:) Enjoy the pictures. There will be more pictures of the finished garden coming soon!

Good bye weeds!

Here comes the plants.
