What a great idea to give them each their own little garden and to spark an interest in how things grow.

The first day we did a garden tour the youngest one said, "This is a lot more interesting than I thought it would be!"

Aw, cute! That must have been music to your ears. :-)

Took my grandsons on a day trip, one of the stops was a nursery. They helped me pick out three hostas including Jurassic Park and had a great time.

What a marvellous memory you've made for the boys, Kathy. Way to go, Grandma! Those beds will grow right along with the boys! :)

Kathy, my mom died this spring, after suffering with Alzheimer's for several years. My nephew (now 35) wrote her obituary. He said she was his best friend. She spent lots of time with them and loved them dearly. You won't ever be sorry for the time you take with them.

My condolences, Bkay.

So sorry to hear about your mother, bkay. Sounds like she was a great grandmother.

zkathy, what great memories you are creating for your grandsons..and you too.

What better gift to give your grandkids than an appreciation of nature and the nurturing of nature?.......but then I'm biased! Great idea. Spilt Milk? Is that representative of grandchildren? :) lastly. You must be the youngest grandma around, Kathy! ;)

condolences bkay......memorial beds can be quite therapeutic. As if you needed an excuse to plant more hostas? :)

Bkay, I'm so sorry about your mother. I've had two close relatives suffer with dementia and it's so hard. How impressive that your nephew had such a powerful relationship with her! You have my deepest sympathy.

Kathy
