Our Flower Bed

Before

In our backyard we have a little flower garden. It used to be a fish pond but the person who lived here before us filled it in. We thought it could use a little work. Will and I went shopping last night to pick out some flowers, gardening gloves and top soil. The garden was overgrown and full of weeds. We started with the center section first. We found a knife, some bricks, and some interesting bugs while tilling the soil and pulling weeds. We then were able to plant the flowers! We chose orange and yellow marigolds to attract the butterflies to our backyard. Here's a couple of snapshots of the little gardeners tucking the flowers into their beds.
Will wanted to have a Florida Gator garden!
We found orange but no blue.
Hannah the "pro-gardener"!
They worked so hard to make the garden beautiful!
This is it!
Now only two more sections in the flower bed to go!
