School Project : Your Dream Garden by Celine

This was Celine's school project ; design your dream garden! Since she was very little, she always wanted to have a tree house in our garden which didn't exist, we lived in an apartment complex in Boston USA.
For this project I got her a pot plate , compost and lawn seeds. It took about 3 week for the lawn to grow.
Meanwhile, Celine made picket fences with lolly sticks, and some garden tools with clay. On one of her trip to our local park, she found a perfect branch to build a tree house.
She recycled a butter container and a cocktail umbrella as accessories in her garden. Than she made a bird bath and a bird house out of clay, once they were dry Celine painted and personalized them.

She used canvas material and string to make the tree house, swing and the ladder. Used ice lolly sticks to make a road sign, and a small fruit container to make a pond.
Everybody loved her garden, but it was pain full to keep up with lawn maintenance and carrying her garden to and from school.
