  • In the Garden
    In the Garden Words Words Level 1:​ plant, seed, garden, trowel, watering can, flower Words Level 2:​ wheelbarrow, pond, rake, flowerpot, flowers, vine, tree, bush, gardening gloves, grow, water, soil, dirt, sun, leaf Getting Started ● Look at the new words together and make cards with all of the organic items (that is, everything but the gardening tools). Look at a magazine or catalog together and find these items in the pictures. How many do you see? Circle the pictures and say the words out loud together. Practice ● Memory game!​ Say: “I go outside, and I see a garden.” Your child repeats and adds one garden word (I go outside, and I see a garden and a seed). Next you repeat and add a third word. Continue until someone makes a mistake. Play again, but this time also add in other known words, even silly words like “sock” or “potato.” ● Draw it! ​Draw a scene with a pond, a tree, and a garden. Now add as many of the other words (Level 1 and Level 2) as you can. Older children can write the name of each item with its picture. Color in the drawing together. To review the words, first say each one and ask your child to find it. Next play a game of “I Spy.” Take turns! Activities ● The No-Dirt Garden! ○ Show your child that you can grow things with no garden and without soil! ○ You need: an avocado pit, a carrot top (2-3 cm with some root on top), toothpicks, a glass, a shallow dish, and cotton wool.

  • March 2016 Newsletter
    March 2016 The Trowel President’s Prose Volume 4, Issue 1 Dear Members and Friends, Just when I thought that spring might be peeking around the corner, it snowed again! I've been searching in my little garden to see if any of the daffodil bulbs that I planted last autumn have come through, but on the dreary north side it remains cold and still. On the other hand I visited Esther recently and on the sunny west side of her house, she has patches of tulips already. I am sooooo envious! I hope that some of you will decide to join me as April approaches and take a little stroll through Meacham Woods. I was inspired by the speaker who told us about all the wild flowers that we may see and am hoping to do that this year. I do need someone with me who can identify them though as I am sure I won’t remember. Let us find a way to get a group together and enjoy the outdoors. Your Plant Sale committee have already been very busy making plans for the sale in May and I hope that you have placed your orders with Henia and will be ready to get up early that weekend to help unload the truck and set up for another exciting and successful event. Please note on your calendars that we change venue as of April for our monthly meetings. We will be at St. Paul Church and you will get timely reminders from the Program Committee in this respect.

  • Edge Trimmer Or Brush Cutter
    Trimmer or brushcutter? Trimmers and brushcutters are in appearance identical products, whether on the look or the usage. Only identical in appearances, though… The trimmer is above all else, intended for finishing jobs. It can be used against walls, around trees or borders, under benches… that is to say everywhere the lawn mower cannot access. The trimmer is therefore an additional tool, used after lawn cutting. It must solely be used to cut off the grass that goes over, as the diameter of the cutting wire is relatively limited. This tool is therefore, aimed at homeowners, which have a medium- sized, well looked after garden. The brushcutter is generally more expensive, as more robust. It can tackle higher grass, brambles, and even small branches. It can be used to maintain larger areas or areas difficult to access with a lawn mower. Its engine is more powerful and the wire cutting is thicker (up to 4 mm in diameter). It is also heavier than a trimmer. The brushcutter presents certain advantages to garden owners or professionals that wish to cut off larger vegetal or look after and maintain larger grounds. Once you have defined which tool answers the best your needs, it is time to think about the accessories and optional specifications that could be useful to you. - Engine power: to define in function of your needs - guard protection : Protect the surrounding plants from the cutting wire when working near by - replacement of the cutting wire : the wire being fragile, it regularly breaks. Some machines allow the replacement of the cutting
