My Project

My little gardeners in Lincoln Green Thumbs (our school garden club) love gardening. We spend much time learning about plants outside and indoor hydroponics. I would like for them to learn more about indoor house plants. We have only studied spider plants and I would love to expand on that. I have ordered two sets of 12 indoor plants. They contain plants such as a live Fittonia plant, a live Pothos plant, a Dieffenbachia plant, and an Aralia plant just to name a few.

We are beginning some new vertical gardening this summer.

We have cattle panel and t-posts; however, we are in need of some t-post clips to connect the two. We also need a t-post clip benders (a tool) to connect them together. Thank you for reading about our gardening needs.
