We’ve been thinking about spring and starting to plan our garden spaces. The seed catalogs came out this week, and my little helpers picked a few new flower varieties they want to try.

I was reminded of this line from “The Child in the Garden” by E.A. Pyper:

For children under six, a garden offers endless opportunities for training and developing on every side. Hand and eye, brain and soul, all are trained and strengthened, and under God’s bright sun and soft rains the child grows sweet and fresh as any flower.

Do you garden? I’d love to hear your favorite flower, vegetable, or herb varieties to add to our list.
