Salmon Creek Kids Flower at Weott Garden Show

Class Photo with Plants

Daily Photo

Salmon Creek kids harvested a wheelbarrow of prizes at the annual Weott Garden show. With beautiful plants and pots donated by Tommy Harwood, the new owner of Redway Feed and soil donated by Sylvandale, each child planted their own mini garden. Then, with flowers donated from community members’ gardens, the children made bouquets.

Kym,

Your little guy’s looking a lot like his daddy in the group shot at the top of the page.

Congrats to all those kids for work well done – I’m so jealous. I’ve lost about 5 rose bushes in my short time here in Midwest Suburbia. 🙁 Maybe I just dreamed that I had a green thumb?

Probably the weather back there is so different that you have to adapt a little. I know I would have a hard time with all that cold.

Gee, I wonder who the redhead belongs to.

Max, I know redheads are supposedly disappearing but this school has 3 redheaded boys out of 11 kids. I swear they’re not all mine.

Cool event indeed! It appears there were bountiful cash prizes as well! Or did they sell their plants?

Cash prizes, stuffed animals, ribbons and certificates–they hauled it in

We did a standard cheese smile one. Then I let ’em rip. Cute little dudes, aren’t they?

Cute pictures and great job the kids did! I think this is the first time I’ve seen a child give herself the ears in a picture though. 🙂

The flowers are beautiful, and so are the kids!

One of the ways Maddy is wonderful is how she doesn’t follow beaten paths. She does life her own way and makes that way seem so interesting that the rest of the kids want to go too!

I have almost lost a new bonsai, in a mini garden all its own.

All these flowers, and children who look like flowers, cheered me up so.

Thanks ever so much for coming by my blog so regularly, I will try to deserve it better in the coming weeks:)

What a wonderful way to start the morning — looking at those wonderful kids and their flowers! Happy loving thoughts headed to Salmon Creek from Sacramento. See you this weekend at Benbow. (This is from Cooper and Ella’s grandma in case you couldn’t guess.)

I can’t wait to see you. It has been too long. I’m looking forward to seeing your kiddo’s in the Tang Soo Do performance, too. This is one of my favorites.

[…] Hillary Clinton said, “It takes a village” and I’ve seen the truth of that in my own children.  Just this Spring, Redway Feed donated pots and plants to Salmon Creek School for the kids to plant and raise both for learning purposes and for entering in the wonderful local Weott Garden Show.  The kids, including my own son, were delighted with the recognition their efforts at gardening received.
