My husband is a Master Gardener and does a lot of teaching in Phoenix, so he is always anxious to spread the word about fabulous gardens and loves to have children get interested at an early age. Each year the Master Gardeners have a garden tour to raise money. This past weekend we got a sneak peek at all of the places on the tour. My favorite was a school in Scottsdale that a couple of Master Gardeners helped the children develop some of the cutest gardens you have ever seen.
Everything was planted and painted by all the children.
Pop cans that they made into pinwheels.
The children all love their gardens and they have learned so much. I think this is a fabulous project.
I have a school garden club with no money, lol. Can you share your ideas with me?
Neither my husband or I are involved in any of the school gardens. The one I shared was helped by the Master Gardeners in the area. Contact your local group of Master Gardeners and you will find them really, really helpful with talking and teaching the children, they don’t have money to spend, but they do have ideas. Marty
