Description: Our son, Jake, and his class have spent the last few weeks learning about the parts of trees, plants and flowers, as well as what plants need to grow. These lessons on plants and the growing cycle are coming at a perfect time, as we just planted our vegetable garden and flowers. Jake helped us plant seeds and mark the rows for the vegetables. He continues to help water the garden and will also get to harvest later in the year. His favorite vegetable is carrots.
