Karyn Smith, Primary Teacher
I love gardening and attempting to grow things. I say attempting because for me gardening is just one experiment after another. Sometimes, it goes brilliantly, and sometimes, you learn what not to do again. Gardening leads to problem-solving, caring for something outside of oneself, responsibility, and—most of all—exploration.
