🌸 Spring Gnome Garden 🌸

So this week has felt like a bit of a cross through the seasons, and all of a sudden we are noticing life all around us. We decided to make a new home for our day of the week gnomes (which the beautiful Amelia @fairoakfell gifted the little one for Christmas).

Each day after morning prayers we sing our morning song 🎵

‘Good morning dear earth,

Good morning dear sun,

Good morning dear stones,

And flowers everyone.

Good morning dear animals,

And dear birds in the trees,

Good morning to you,

And good morning to me.’

Then our daily gnome hops in the little garden for the day, the great thing about this little garden is if you keep the moss watered everyday, flowers with bulbs will stay alive.

To make a gnome garden you will need:

A foil pie tray

Moss from outside

A small bulbed flower - I have Narcissus here and crocus as well as some grape hyacinth.

A spoon or pestle

A spray bottle filled with water.

🌸 Lay a large clump of moss on the tray, and pull it out like a birds nest. (Why not make a birds nest like this too?)

🌸 Wrap your bulbs in the moss and then use a pestle to flatten the middle for your gnome to sit in.

🌸 Spray with water daily to keep bulbs hydrated.

This is a lovely tradition we started in winter at @thevalleysteinerparentandchild which I love we are carrying on and the little one loved creating this special garden for her special gnomes.

The past few weeks have been really odd and I’ve found it so difficult to find the words or energy to contribute to this space! But The lighter mornings are filling me with energy and I am finally starting to feel some relief and some head space so to speak, so I look forward to this improving over the next couple of weeks, this months Waldorf Magic Nesting Birds is most definitely filling me with inspiration and I can’t wait to start exploring with the little one.

There is still no change in my daughters friends condition in hospital. But we hope everyday that she will start to get well. Thank you all for your well wishes and thoughts and prayers for her.

Wishing you all an amazing Wednesday today! Please like and share if you can. No doubt the algorithm is going to punish now lol
