Kinder-GARDEN ing and more

 Our 4th  grade book buddies assist our Kindergartners with choosing the plants to grow each season. But, the original garden was designed by me. It has since been expanded and we have improved it each year. I used a book entitled Schoolyard Garden Mosaics as inspiration, but I work with a limited budget each year, so I just dream of having gardens like those displayed in the book.
