I would love some rhubarb for the children's garden at our little museum. I have a lot of blue flags (Va. iris), yellow lamium, pink stonecrop, yellow stonecrop, obedient plant, and perennial geranium "Rozanne."
Here is a picture of them the first day. They planted seeds and a few herbs. They had a great time and so did we but it was exhausting. Because of their age, we had the soil all prepped ahead of time.
LOL, did you have to hose them down after they played in the dirt?
well, their hands. I had a table set up to show them how different things grow. So I had a carrot and potato, bell pepper and tomato, herbs and ginger. They all wanted to try tasting the herbs and the ginger but I warned them that the ginger was really hot. Still a few took a tiny piece (mostly it smelled so good) and got quite a shock and spit them out. But a couple of them liked the ginger anyway. it was a fun day. Oddly, the kids dead-heading the marigolds and petunias????
