When I was also at Fort Vancouver, walking in the garden, you could find 
pieces of
pipe stems, victorian blueware/spode, glass, etc.  I was also digging one of 
my gardens
earlier, and used a roto-tiller, and saw something silver pop up and go 
under as the
blades turned.  It turned out to be an old "V" nickle (of course one of the 
blades
to the equipment made a nice cut in the piece).   But, showing archelogical 
soil
layers could be tied into "what's in or under your garden."

You may also have children make their own garden with gluing flowers, seeds, 
leaves, etc. to paper.  See
