| Hi John, I'm obsessed with sweet peas. They're delicate, the scent is divine, and I often forget to plant them early enough in the season to appreciate a full June bloom.🫠But not this year! I bought seeds in February, got them started about a month ago, put the seedlings in the ground a couple weeks back, and they seem to be thriving. 😎 Now we wait. This time of year is a beautiful reminder of opportunities for fresh starts. What fresh starts are on your mind? Cleaning house, planting seeds, renewed friendships, new hobbies, better eating habits, more outdoor activities, more art making, recycling... I'm starting with sweet peas. And more art making. If you'd like to bring more flowers into your life, here are five activities to try with kids this month: ​Crushed Flower Experiment: Press petals to release colors ​Make Tissue Paper Flowers to spruce up your space ​Coffee Filter Flowers: Paint on filters with watercolors, then turn into flowers ​Rainbow Scavenger Hunt: See if you can spot flowers in all colors of the rainbow. 🌈By the way, today is Find a Rainbow Day! ​Download the Spring Nature Scavenger Hunt: Take it out on your next walk, hike, or trip From my garden to yours, p.s.
