  1. I work at Wal-Mart in the lawn and garden department. All you would have to do is go in to your local Wal-Mart mon-fri inbetween 7-4(thats when the departments managers work). Ask to speak with him/her and just ask. Most department managers love their jobs and love to give their knowledge to young people. Anybody would be honored to take a day off of work to teach young minds what they know. If I lived in your area I would do it in a minute.


  2. I would probably call or go over and talk to him - call and set up an appointment first though - then see if he can actually bring  a tray and dirt so the kids can do hands on activities with him - he might enjoy it as much as the kids.  Just be sure they get to "do" something rather than just listen to him talk - they won't enjoy that at all.  Neither would I!!

  3. I would visit the store personally, rather than writing a letter.

  4. I would simply state who I am and the reasons for inviting the gardener to my class room to teach my children about gardening. For instance, To whom it may concern: I, Ms. Jones, teach over at Happy Children Preschool.  We are inviting you to come and share in a day of discovering how science and nature works with planting things and making them grow. It would be an honor and a pleasure for us to have you share your gardening skills with our classroom.

    If you are available to come and share with us your gardening skills we would be very happy in welcoming you. Please contact Ms. Jones @(123) 456-ABCD at your earliest convience so that we may set up a date for you to come and share a day of discovery in science and how nature works.

    Well, something along those lines. I hope this helps you and your classroom.

  5. Call your local Wal-Mart. Ask for the head of the gardening department or at least what his/her name is. Address the letter to him/her.

    Very politely, explain that you want to give the children a wonderful, hands-on educational experience. Ask if s/he would be willing to come and share their knowledge of growing things to come and demonstrate/talk about plants. Maybe suggest they could plant their own cuttings or seeds in Dixie cups to grow. Double check your spelling and grammar before sending it out so they know you're a serious person and not a joke. Tell them the age of the class(es) and how many there will be so they know what to bring along, if anything. Ask what they will need you to have ready for them and what times they might be available. Also make sure to mention when your class(es) are held so they can work it into their schedule. Finally, ask them who they would recommend you ask next if they are unavailable to come.

    You might also think about sending similar letters to local greenhouses or florists.

    There are lots of books available on writing letters so you can get an idea for language and form to follow. Check out your local library. Here's an online source to try, too.

    Good luck!
