Small Hands Create Beautiful Designs

     Yesterday I attended an after-school garden club at a nearby elementary school to teach fourth and fifth grade boys and girls to make fresh holiday arrangements. Tea tins were donated to use for containers.  A Christmas tree shop donated some fresh balsam.  I gathered pine, arborvitae, sweet gum balls and Siberian iris seed pods from my yard to add to the design.  We snipped some beautiful variegated holly at the school entrance on the way in.

My helper and I arrived early to set up.

We set up before students arrived
 
 
 
The students listened carefully and followed instructions.
 
 
 

Each student made a beautiful, fragrant, all natural arrangement to take home for the holidays
