Word(y) Wednesday: Chicago Botanic Garden, European Plants

I hope you noticed something new last week on my Wednesday post.  I'm planning on sharing the Polish word to the majority, if not all, of my photos each week to help others learn Polish. 

Associating a word with an image is easier than associating a word with a translation of the word.  It's also the way children learn their "mother" tongue.

Think of this as a blog version of flashcards in a foreign language class...



Also, our own garden is getting along very nicely and I've added two new flower beds filled with seeds from Dom itp.  I'll be sharing photos as the seeds start growing.



Last week, we went to the Chicago Botanic Garden.
