Make a Leaf Litter Garden
It is so easy to forget how much life is living underneath our feet. All those seeds asleep right underneath our feet are waiting for just the right moment to sprout up through the soil. There are so many ways that seeds can be transported, wind, water, and birds, being a few of them. That means the soil you have in your backyard or a local green space might have a whole bunch of seeds from plants living much further away than you think! Guess what plants you might see in your leaf litter garden. Once they sprout, try to identify any of the plants you see. Are they native or introduced? Did you expect to find those plants sprouting in the soil that you collected?
