I asked Nurit, my son’s nursery school teacher, about these homemade gardening pots this morning at drop off. She said that every year she buys terracota pots for a spring gardening project but this year it just occurred to her to reuse what they had. This is in no way a revolutionary concept at my son’s Berkeley preschool, but it’s still so nice to see yesterday’s garbage reused and reloved. I adore the way the kids decorated them, and are now tending to them with their little spray bottles of water.

I personally find plastic and soil not a great combination but I do love the idea of making use of the crappy plastic that has invaded our lives
I know Brian (and I’ve never been a fan of those foam stickers) but I do like to see kids being encouraged to rethink and reuse things that we’re in the habit of throwing away.
hey is this blog still active? I really miss it.
