🌱 Signs of Spring in Our Garden 🌱
Our perennial herb garden is starting to come back to life, and the children were so excited to spot all the fresh new growth peeking through! It’s such a special time of year to observe how nature wakes up again.
We talked about why we don’t rush to cut everything back from last season. Those dried stems and leaves may look a little messy, but they provide important shelter for birds and helpful insects still waking up after winter. It’s a great reminder that even when plants look “done,” they’re still playing an important role in our ecosystem. 🐦🐞
The children also had the chance to harvest seeds we saved, learning how plants continue their life cycle and how we can help them grow again. 🌿
Hands-on learning, patience, and caring for nature — all in one little garden bed 💚
