“why try to explain miracles to your children when you can have them plant a garden?”

-*janet kilburn phillips

*Janet is a gardener who found that she had to employ a growth mindset when she moved to the United States from England. She had previously been creating English cottage gardens but encountered challenges when she tried to grow them in a drastically different climate and in heavy clay soil. After experimenting with her gardens she created a CD called English Cottage Gardening — American Style. She adapted and persevered and found a new way to succeed at something that she loved.

  17. When our girls were young, we had a huge garden. I canned tons of green beans, tomato sauces, and spaghetti sauce. Froze brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc. And every year, I grew lots of sweet peas on a trellis but never got to save one of them. Every kid in the neighborhood “grazed” through the veggies and ate whatever they wanted. Fine by me. It had to be healthy. Then, when the garden was done, they pulled up the plants and created dirt hills and valleys to ride their bikes through. A win/win.

  25. ouch, that doesn’t look terribly inviting nor promising. Hopefully those kids have muscles enough to dig into the hard soil and grow living things! Good luck to all of you, kiddies and teacher!
