One of our local nurseries (the best local nursery, if you ask me) offers free gardening classes for children every Saturday. Stephen somehow happened across this information last week. So on Saturday we loaded up in the ol' family Subaru and headed to Edwards Greenhouse to pawn our children off on someone else for an entire hour free of charge!

 

We misread the start time and showed up a half hour early. But that just gave us time to bumble around and plan our dream garden - have you ever noticed how expensive plants are? It's mind blowing! Anyway, I snapped the two photos above. Henry snapped the two below.

   

And Wyatt took these last two. Their skills are impressive. We might have some artists on our hands...

   

And then it finally was time to start some earthworming - that's the name of the class. Edwards Earthworms.

 

They planted strawberries and peas. And as you can see by the pictures we didn't actually pawn our children off on anyone. We stuck around and participated. We're lame like that. But this Saturday we are out. Those boys can fend for themselves while they learn to harvest the land the cultivate some plants.
