Daisy Girl Scout Garden Service Project

At our last meeting, the Daisy Girl Scouts planted two flat container gardens of squash, eggplant and tomatoes (with some marigolds to ward away bugs) and decorated a watering can and made little popsicle stick plant markers that they stuck into the soil next to the plants.  They voted to do the planting for the Mother Teresa Day Shelter for which they have previously collected toiletries and harvested grapefruit.  We had planned to deliver the little gardens last weekend but the weather was too bad on Sunday, so we re-scheduled for today and , after soccer today, they delivered them to the Mother Teresa Day Shelter.  Proud of my girls.

Gotta love a climate where you can start gardens while the rest of us are putting ours to bed for the winter.
