Our Garden – Outdoor Classroom Ideas

SHARE THIS POST:

My sons helped cultivate our gardens this year. We did most things together. They helped me pull up grass, till the soil, choose seeds, plant seeds, build beds, dump and turn the soil, compost, water our babies, weed, and ultimately harvest our goodies.

We’re definitely having some beginner’s luck in this glorious Pacific Northwestern summer. I feel fortunate for this opportunity for all of us to learn and to be outdoors so often. Here are a few pictures from our garden.
