i'm just giving you a little peek at my cottage... after the spring maple seeds fall, followed by the rains...not two or three weeks later my rain gutters begin to grow 100's of trees.
after they reach 6-8 inches i get up there and pull them out.
funny enough, i feel awful about it. i hate killing this beautiful life.
but honestly, i don't my little gutters could support it!
i did take a gallon sized bag of these plants to my 4-5 year old class and then taught them about seeds. we also planted some seeds into planters: garden beans and radishes.
we'll keep a journal of the growth.
and at the end of the day, 25 maple trees headed out my door- potentially ending up with their roots in the ground.
i hope so!

What a fun idea for your pre-schoolers. I'll bet they just love it!
By the way...I love your slideshows on your sidebar. Such beautiful pictures!
Boy, have you got the "green thumb." Growing maple trees in the rain gutter.
The students you teach are very fortunate to have such a wonderful teacher, one that continues to bring interesting things to class and to make life full of fun while learning.
You are tops!!
You do have a wonderful knack for making the most of things. That's really pretty cool. ;-)
