Black Eyed Susan ( October 26, 2011 )

Mrs.Hastings brought almost two dozen black-eyed susan plants from her garden. Some of the Super Gardeners helped me plant them, both by the bench and in the spot where an assistant teacher helped dig out one of the Thorough Worts. Mrs. Hastings transplanted it in the Living Classroom. They will look lovely there!
