Plant Marker Making and Leaf Rubbing

This week gardening took a turn toward the arts. Noticing the fragility of our popsicle stick markers, we opted for a more sustainable route. We took antique spoons, drew pictures of our plants, and pasted them on to the center of spoons. We then weather proofed those babies and planted them in the soil with their namesakes!

After we finished painting, we scoured the garden for texturally interesting leaves. We used leaves of many shapes and sizes to make beautiful leaf rubbings!
