Avery's Sunflower

Avery brought home a few tiny sunflowers seeds from a lesson she had in school last May. Avery and Hung planted them and one took - It went from a tiny sprout to a 6 foot tall flower over the course of the summer. The two of them were diligent about watering it and tending to it. Avery is SO proud of the flower she grew and we think it's pretty cool, too! Even the neighbors have gotten into it.

Her teachers want her to collect some of the seeds so they can try planting them at school next year. It was such a fun and rewarding summer project for Avery and Hung.
