Here are the pictures of the seed planting
First we filled the terrarium with the dirt. One layer for the bottom, a base layer. The middle layer has added nutrients for the plants, and the top layer is specifically for seeds.
We didn’t pack the dirt down, we spread it out evenly.
Then we planted the lavender,
and the other plants. (I forgot what this is!)
Then we added the bright and cheerful pansies.
And finally, we watered all of our plants! “Give them lots of water! They’re thirsty.”
Emily met with the Cool Cats to determine what they wanted to plant in their terrarium. Together they created a long list of vegetables, fruits (strawberries), and flowers. Emily took the list and divided it up, and decided what would grow well in the terrarium.
Then came the shopping day! Emily, Cindy, Megan, and Faith took the Cool Cats to Fruit Basket Flowerland on Alpine.

C.J. had to pick which strawberry plant we would plant. Decisions, decisions…
Everyone listens while the Sales Associate explains the difference between the two strawberry plants.
Everyone was assigned a plant. Then they had to find that packet of seeds.
We had to buy three kinds of dirt!
The pansies were beautiful. We could not resist the 2/$7 sale!
Checking out…
“How about we put these in a bag?”
Emily hands over the cash to complete the transaction.
Then it was time to pack everything in the cars.
We went back to the school and planted the strawberry, pansies, and lavender. The following week, Emily went back to the school to help plant the seeds.
Make sure you check back to see our progress!
Join us and the Cool Cats in cleaning up the courtyard at Shawnee Park. Call Cathy if you have any questions.

How convenient would it be if we could see a calendar with all of our birthdays posted on it, instead of having to check our padfolio or dig back through the newsletter? Now we can! We have our calendar and Upcoming Events posted on our main blog page. I will soon be adding birthdays! I will continue to use first names only. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Emily.
