"I wonder what color the flowers will be. I wonder if butterflies will like them. I wonder if
they will smell good." Ms. Madanski's class in Toledo, Ohio on February 27.
What do you see when you look closely at your garden? Go out to your tulip Test Garden often for measuring, comparing, and describing your plants as they grow and change.
