As it is nearly Easter and Holy week my challenge for you is to create an Easter garden.
Watch my video on You tube to see one I made.

What you need:
Somewhere the build – a flower bed or a plate.
Soil
Sticks
Stones
plants – moss is great

What to do:
Remember the story of Easter and recreate the key symbols of that festival in your garden.
The Cross on Golgotha.
The empty tomb.

You can use you items to recreate the scene of the Easter story and use moss, stones and landscaping to make it look like a real model.

During Holy week or Passion week you can also remember the key events in this important Christian festival.
