We woke up to snow.............

I was really excited to give you a little yard tour today to show you all my buds and things starting to blossom, but when we woke up there was snow. So I am sharing about my grandchildren's garden instead.

*********************

My grandchildren's garden is dedicated to my sweet little boys and someday girls too.
These little people call me "Mimi" or Grandma Mimi" This is my whimiscal garden and it is dedicated to them. It is part of the play yard and fairy garden area. It has all kinds of (edible) flowers, little toys, fairy garden etc.

***************

We made a stepping stone for Wyatt the summer of 2008 and it was time to make it for all these little boys born since then.

Here are the four we made this week. I was going to put them out today and take a picture but it is snowing....I am a fair weather gardener!!!


This is the one we did for Wyatt - it is in the garden.

A little about my Grandchildren's Garden

I want our grandchildren to be a part of my gardening experience. I was part of my grandmother's gardening as were her other grandchildren and many of them have chosen this field in some form or another as their profession. Her love for gardening has extended for generations.

This is a corner of the grandchildren's play garden from last summer. In this garden there are all kinds of (edible) flowers, little toys, a fairy garden, the play yard etc. These are pix I took yesterday (before the snow!) of this area.

To your right is the play yard, the big tires, sand box, and tree house. Back in the corner is a board that the little boys can play with their trucks on.

To your left is the fairy garden, bottle tree and thinking spot area.

This is a post from last summer about planting a Fairy Garden with our oldest Grandson. http://bucketideasforgardening.blogspot.com/2009/04/finally-spring-is-in-idaho.html

Maybe it is the snow on the ground today but thinking about my "Grandchildren's Garden" reminded me of my "Grandchildren's Forrest " I do at Christmas - when you have a minute I would love for you to drop by, this is the link: http://bucketideasforchristmas.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-grandchildrens-forrest.html
