Garden club - greenhouses

We learned all about greenhouses this week. They trap warm air and moisture inside to make the plants happy.

We built our greenhouses out of old CD cases and planted some seeds.

We will have to see how our seeds grow in their own little greenhouses!
Garden Club

In Garden Club, the kids learned about seeds. How they grow and change and each child got to plant some seeds. They were excited to see how much they changed by the next meeting!

Worms! Worms! Worms!

Worms are a vital part of a garden. They help airate the soil, they create nutrients for the soil and so much more.

They are just fun too!

Planting time

We had our first Garden Club meeting where we planted our plants and seeds!
Planting time

Our brave naturalist, Mary Lou, explaining how plants grow.
Planting time

First you dig a small trench, then you place the seeds one by one. Or in one big group, whatever works for you!

Then you carefully cover them up. Or you might dig them up again, as more than one child learned!
Planting time

We planted some plants too.

She really gets into her work!

Whew! A lot of work for little hands, but now it's all done! Hopefully the rabbits will leave them alone!
