A Garden Changes Over Time

One spot, marked with a stake. Same view, every week, all term.

Nothing appears to happen. Then you lay ten weeks side by side and a great deal has happened, and the gap between those two experiences is the entire lesson. Change below the threshold of daily noticing is most of how the world actually works.

Drawing works. Photographs work better and a class tablet is enough.

The page has ten dated frames, a fixed viewpoint note, and a final comparison spread. Mark the viewpoint on the ground properly. We used a chalk mark once and lost the whole comparison to a week of rain, which restarted the project and taught the adults something about method.
