I took my day care kids to the nursery last summer and told them they could choose some plant for their garden. I expected them to choose something with bright gaudy flowers but was surprised when all six agreed on 3 different ferns. They took them home and planted them and watched faithfully but always from a distance or from around the corner of the garage. With a bit of disappointment they finally asked why the dinosaurs hadn't moved into their new "fern forest". I guess they were listening when I talked about habitat destruction and extinct animals but weren't quite old enough to understand.



What strange garden ideas does your kids have?
