You Were Born To Bloom!
Our Dearest Sweet Pea,
Will you plant trees and flowers, tending our Earth with love?”
What a lovely question to ask, Our Dearest Sweet Pea. Isn’t it fun to play outside? Feel the grass under your toes? Our Earth filled with soil that grows strawberries, sunflowers that follow the sun, and trees that dance in the wind. Just like dreams, gardens begin with tiny seeds and a little hope.
In this post, we’re digging into the joy of gardening — how it helps our planet, and how even the smallest hands can make a big, beautiful difference.
🌼 Why Gardening is Good for Sweet Peas (and the Earth)
Gardening isn’t just about dirt under your nails (although that’s fun too!). It teaches us patience, care, and wonder. Here are some cool garden facts just for you, Sweet Pea:
🌻 Plants talk to each other – That’s right! Trees and plants can send signals through their roots using tiny fungi highways in the soil. It’s like the Earth’s very own internet!
🍓 Strawberries aren’t really berries – But bananas are! (Gardening teaches all kinds of surprises.)
🪱 Worms are garden superheroes – They wriggle through the soil, making tunnels so water and air can reach the roots of plants. Thanks, worms!
🦋 Pollinators need our help – Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds rely on flowers to survive, and we rely on them to grow the food we eat. When you plant flowers, you’re also planting kindness.
🌲 One tree can clean the air for four people – By planting a tree, you’re helping your community breathe better!

🎨 Garden Journal – Draw or write about what you planted, what you see, and what you wonder.
🧤 Make Your Own Bug Hotel – Use sticks, bark, pinecones, and leaves to make a cozy space for helpful bugs to stay.
🪴 Decorate a Flower Pot – Use paints, stickers, and even glitter (yes, glitter!) to turn a plain pot into a masterpiece.
