Plant some plants in your gardens that are different and unique.

These Plants have cool textures; Lambs Ear, Thistles, Milk Weed, Yucca, Sedum, and Elephant Ear, Hens and Chicks, and Coreopsis.
Put some of these and other interesting plants in your garden and learn about the fun ways they are different!
Please be aware that some plants are poisonous and take caution.
Ways to learn about gardening:
Observe the plants and what they do. Check on them different times of the day.
Keep a gardening journal.
Take pictures and make a scrapbook of your findings.
Do fun crafts using items from the garden.
Buy and use field guides and gardening books.
Study plants and their behaviors.
Ask questions…Why do plants bend toward the light? How do vines know how to climb? Why do leaves change color in the Fall? What gives flowers their color!
As a homeschooling family, we do unit studies. We will take one plant and learn as many things as we can about it, in as many ways as we can.
