Pistils, Petals & More

Rain today. The gardens looked good, but it was too wet to work in them. An earthworm was spotted, a good sign!

Today the gardeners learned all about flowers - the parts of a flower, the function of each part, and how a flower reproduces. They learned about solitary and composite flowers.

Here Drake examinined a yellow day lilly, and a Rose of Sharon flower.


After the lesson, the young gardeners made their own flowers out of plastic straws and colorful duct tape - not the gray kind - pink, yellow, green and white. They came up with some beautiful creations!
