Gardening Poems for Gardening Kids Every child who has gardening tools, Should learn by heart these gardening rules.
He who owns a gardening spade, Should be able to dig the depth of its blade. He who owns a gardening hoe, Must be sure how he means his strokes to go.
But he who owns a gardening fork, May make it do all the other tools' work. Though to shift, or to pot, or annex what you can, A trowel's the tool for child, woman, or man.
'Twas a bird that sits in a branch of a tree, Who sang these gardening songs to me.
