Today was a day full of gardening fun! This morning friends planted seeds, scooping and mixing and pressing down the dirt. We started growing sunflowers, cucumbers, broccoli and kale.

Next, we went outside and got to work on the garden soil. Friends eagerly jumped in to help spread a layer of compost/manure over our garden beds.

During this process there were many conversations, including sentences like:

“It was my turn with the shovel!”

“This will make our kale grow good.”

“Look! I found a worm!”

“Can I have the rake when you’re done?”

Friends worked together throughout the garden, including sibling pairs.

We should be ready to plant soon! –Jessica
