LEARNING GARDEN RULES
1) We have fun – everything GROWs better that way!
2) We wear closed toe shoes – we garden without chemical pesticides, so this keeps the creepy crawlies off our feet.
3) We are kind to others – this is a community garden and we want everyone to feel safe and happy in their community.
4) We put away all our tools – this helps our tools last longer and our visitors stay safe.
5) We stay on designated paths – This helps keep our seedlings from being stepped on and our big plants from getting broken limbs.
6) We respect the wildlife – we have earthworms, birds, bees, butterflies, ladybugs and many other natural friends that live here and help our garden grow.
7) We sing, laugh, joke, giggle, smile, and all those other happy things – basically we turn that frown upside down and remember rule #1!
