Welcome to the April 16, 2007 edition of Garden Fest. How cute is this baby sparrow? Although you can't quite tell it from most gardens after that Noreaster blew through, it is spring, a time of renewal and this little guy, who is half the size of his proud mama, proves it! Well, whether the snow is piling up or not, gardeners are ready to garden and we have quite a large carnival today:
Davide Petilli presents First time bonsai: a 5 points survival guide posted at Bonsai&Japan.com.
If you've been thinking about growing one of these treasures, this advice should help.
Terrell presents Learning in the Great Outdoors: First Edition posted at Alone on a Limb, saying, "The Carnival of Environmental Education: Learning in the Great Outdoors is now open. Do any of you gardeners have a submission for us? We'd love to see 'em. Come take a look."
Well, I think we all love the outdoors and it is great to see another garden related carnival out there.
Garden Hints
