Thyme, lavender and oregano plus a fern and some misty bedding plant. An empty tin can became our tomb and our littles scrounged up a few rocks. I pulled out a small glass jar and we made a little pond and treasure hunted for a couple of good sticks.
It proved to be a little harder than I thought to take pictures and orchestrate this project - so most of the photos are of the garden rather than the gardeners, but they were involved and interested!
What a beautiful visual for this holy season! I'm so glad we took time to make this happen this year! And, I hope it is a beautiful memory for my children of this special time when we remember God's free gift of His Son, salvation and eternal life to us! The visual parallels are many and the reminders powerful!

how beautiful!
Very very cool! I adore the idea of herbs too. Okay so, that quilt/tablecloth or whatever, is REALLY beautiful!
Beautiful! I saw something like that on Pinterest that I wanted to try. I usually grow grass for around Easter but haven't even done that yet this year! If I started today, I could probably pull it off by then....:-)
So beautiful! I love your idea of using herbs. A wonderful analogy of how Jesus continues to season our lives throughout the year, even after the Easter season!
What a beautiful teaching moment you had. Just awesome! Keep it up Mom, you are doing a great job of teaching your little ones!
