Question
At our preschool we do all of our gardening in large planter boxes. We like to do our gardening projects from September to June so the children can see the full cycle of the plants. Can you suggest plants that would be good for this type of garden activity and age group?

Answer
For the Fall consider peas, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, and any lettuces and leaf crops. Pansies and violas will add great color and the flowers are edible. Iceland poppies, stock and primrose will flower through the winter.
For the spring consider California poppies, bulbs such as daffodils, freesia and tulips (to be planted in the fall) as well as beans, more peas and all leaf crops.
