Each home gardener should study garden literature, in order to assist in
solving the garden problems; for the day has passed when one needed only
to scratch the soil with a shell, plant the seeds, and receive an
abundant crop. Today successful gardening depends upon intelligent
management of the soil and crop and upon persistent labour.

PRELIMINARY PLAN

The teacher should, if possible, visit the homes of all the pupils, in
order to make herself familiar with the condition in which their grounds
are kept. She may be able to secure permission from one of the
housekeepers to use her grounds as the practice place for the lesson, or
it may be more desirable to give this lesson at the school and to
conduct a school garden as a model home garden.

METHOD OF WORK

Discuss the arrangement and care of the home or school grounds. Have the
class tidy the lawn and garden chosen for the lesson, supervising the
work carefully. Assign the tidying up of the home lawns or work in the
home gardens for the coming week. Let this lesson serve as a means of
interesting the pupils in home gardening, if that has not already been
taken up, or of emphasizing the relation of gardening to the
housekeeper's work, if they are already interested in the former.
