Fibonacci Numbers


Fibonacci numbers are a pattern of numbers found in all aspects of nature. Some of the first few numbers are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, and so on. You can find these patterns in the plants you will grow in your garden. You may find that that the flowers that bloom have a certain number of petals which will correspond to the Fibonacci number pattern. For example, the pumpkin flower at the right has 5 petals.
