| At the Fern Garden |
On Sunday, the Cub Scouts helped us create a rock border for our fern garden. Fourth and fifth grade boys, under the leadership of Pastor Jeff Dick and Mike Nelson, loaded a flatbed truck with rocks from the farm of Ed and Dorothy Heinze. Ed and Dorothy are rock collectors of sorts (many farmers are). Cool rocks are found naturally and farmers are often the ones that find them as they prepare the soil for planting! Ed and Dorothy were very generous to share some of their rock finds with us! A huge thank you to Ed and Dorothy! The Cub Scouts, along with Representative Aric Nesbitt and other helpful parents, helped move the rocks from the farm to our fern garden. The ferns have died back, but next year they will find themselves surrounded by cool rocks and a mulched trail. Today, my students toured the trail and we found evidence of ferns and fern spores. The rock border was awesome!
A big thank you to Carolyn for taking pictures! Another big thank you to Cindy for videotaping the project! And to all those who helped move rocks, thank you!!!! The Liberty Hyde Bailey Interpretive Garden Path is alive and well! We have lots of hopes and dreams and we know that together we can make our gardens grow!
