The kids were obsessed with how water flowed out the bottom. We emphasized the importance having holes in your containers so the plants don't drown. But really they just liked it because "it looks like the plant is peeing!"

Strawberry girls
Images from my kinder & first grade after school art class at BB&N in Cambridge. I have a group of 6 lovely girls who don't seem to mind when "art class" merges with gardening and nature education. This week we cut off the bottom of soda bottles, punched holes and covered with sticks and fabric strips. Then I brought in strawberry seedlings for them to plant in their new pots. (Ricky's Flower Market in Union Square has some great plants right now: strawberries, blueberries, blackberry/raspberry canes, etc. I want them all!)
