Yi Min is an aspiring gardener who quickly discovers that she has competition for eating her delicious vegetables--a bunny rabbit! After sitting out long hours trying to scare away the bunny, she realizes she needs a better solution to keep the bunny out of her garden. With a field trip to the Great Wall of China, she is inspired to build her own wall for her garden. Knowing that natural materials will be easier to find and cheaper than purchasing materials, Yi Min experiments with various earth materials to build a wall. She works to improve the mortar that will hold her wall together. By using the engineering design process, she is able to build a wall that withstands the test of time. Her garden is saved and the bunny must look elsewhere to find food!
