Today we worked on making signs to identify plants in the "animal named plants" section. In that section we have zebra grass, bee balm, horseradish (we hope! We're waiting for the root to sprout.), catmint, sea urchin grass (blue fescue), tickseed coreopsis, dusty miller, buffalo grass, tiny dino lilies, songbird bunting columbine, lambs ear, snapdragons and hens & chicks.
We hope to create a more welcoming garden by making the signs to identify plants.
Speaking of animals, there were 2 rabbits in the garden when I arrived. They were pretty bold in how close they let me get! They did finish off the young cantaloupe. It's getting too late in the season to find more plants so we'll have to get creative in that part of the garden. Pinterest, here we come!

As our young gardeners worked on signs, the adults in the group pulled weeds and did general clean up.
The relationship discussion centered on recognizing signs that help a person identify a healthy or unhealthy relationship. Tabitha presented scenarios that the teens identified by "green light", "yellow light" or "red light" in a relationship.
After snacks and discussion everyone worked to put down mulch. There was a sense of pride in how nice parts of the garden are starting to look!
