Subject: Gardening

Description: Fiona loves to garden! She helped to decide what we were going to grow in our vegetable garden (tomatoes, cucumbers, yellow squash, peppers, eggplant, cabbage, and kale), and she helped to plant the veggies and marigolds (to keep the bugs away). She loves to water the plants so they get enough to drink! She also chose the flowers for our pots of annual plants and put the plants in the containers all by herself. She couldn’t even wait to change out of her princess dress and tap shoes to start gardening! We are so impressed with how much she knows about gardening. She can identify lambs ear, lilies, peonies, and irises just from their leaves. We are so happy she is learning to care for plants and to take care of the world around her.
