Many of you have made these also.

I did this project with my son's second grade class---a great garden project for kids. The kids did 100% of the planting. My son's class has 12 students, so there were 4 students working on each one. It took us about 90 minutes. We made 3 total.

These just sold at our fund raising auction/gala for $1000 for the set.

Frames came from Flora Grubb gardens, and measure 20x20 inches each. I kept them flat in my heated greenhouse for 3 months before the auction. I also overseeded them with semps that had gone to seed from my yard.

Wow, Stephanie those are wonderful. I imagine those children are feeling very proud of what they did. A great memory for each to carry through life, working towards a financial goal. Thumbs up

Very nice, and an excellent fund raiser idea. My sisters high school band (she's the director) has a huge fundraiser every year and I always give her things made from semps. Living pictures, topiaries, wreaths, etc. and they're always a big hit.
