One thinks of long tramps in the woods, collecting material, and then of the fun in fixing up a real for sure wild garden. "If the wild garden is to be a school affair, then I certainly should plant the different kinds of flowers together. The north corner near the building is a suitable place. But if the garden is to be at home--your own private little garden--I am inclined to think it would be better to plant the wild flowers here and there among the cultivated ones. |
