Abby's Garden

Garden Sanctuary
You who walk,
Maybe with troubled thoughts,
Come, enter here and rest;
And may the sweet serenity of growing things,
And the heavenly,peace
Be mirrored in they soul.
-Doxis M. Palmer







St. Mary's Science class grows some kind of flower or veggie every year and the kids get to bring it home after it has grown quite a bit. Well, Abby brought home some corn and a cucumber and we had no where to put it. So Sam's Club had these raised garden sets and we purchased one for her to start a garden in. We were pleasantly surprised at how large it actually was when we got it home. We also got her a rain barrel to help with watering! In her garden are the following:
Cucumber
Corn
Crooked Neck Squash
Straight Neck Squash
Cherry Tomatoes
Patio Tomatoes
Roma Tomatoes
Cantaloupe
Watermelon
Gerber Daisy
Green Bell Pepper
Strawberry Plant
Daisies
Cabbage
I would highly recommend to any parent out there to let your child grow a garden, it not only teaches responsibility but they learn so much about how things grow and develop.
