1. A gardener cultivates the soil, plants seeds and sets plants, and feeds, waters, weeds, transplants, and cares for the garden.
2. Vegetable garden: foods such as peas, carrots, beans, etc.
a. Flower Garden: bulb and seed flowers, such as tulips or pansies.
b. Herb Garden: plants for cooking such as parsley, thyme, or mint.
3. Genesis 2:8, Eden; John 18:1 and Matthew 26:36, Gethsemane.
4. Some garden tools often needed are a shovel, rake, hoe, trowel, hose, and wheelbarrow.
5. Discuss safety. For example, to prevent injury, never leave tools where a person may step on or fall over them. Wipe tools clean and store them in a dry place.
6. Teach the Adventurers to enjoy the feel of soil, the excitement of watching things grow, and the responsibility to care for a garden by weeding and watering. The third option may be a group project. If it is selected, help the children choose an attractive variety of plants for the terrarium.
