Room to Grow

A highlight of the past school year revolved around planting daffodils. A grandparent, through a local
gardening club, was able to secure a selection of daffodil bulbs for the children to plant.

The children’s excitement about this project was amazing. It was delightful to watch them carefully fill their pots with soil, then add the bone meal to feed the bulbs. Then the bulbs were tenderly added to the pot and gently covered with soil. Each child transported their pot to a special spot in the garden.

Then we waited for Spring. How delighted the children were when the sprouts first poked through the soil. Of course, the daffodils were beautiful when they began to bloom. Some of the blooms were even entered in a local daffodil show!
