She taught them about the tools like a hoe, rack, and shovel. It being fall time all they could plant was fall crops, but they planted lettuce, mustard, collards, radishes and cabbage. She let them get in and get there hands dirty and showed them how to plant the seeds.

The kids loved it and Betsy enjoyed teaching the kids about Gardening. Hopefully they will learn from the experience and use it down the road.
