Kindergarten = Children's garden, right? Kindergarten was created by this guy, Friedrich Frobel. He had a rough childhood but grew up to be this okay adult who started a school that revolutionized early childhood education.

So maybe, after leaving the Gem homeworld, which is probably rigid and un-fun, Rose came to our planet to create and train new gems, and Earth became Rose's garden.

One really cool thing is that Frobel a garden at his school to teach kids the importance of living in harmony with nature. I think Rose would have tried to teach the other gems that too.

Being Rose's son Steven is in a unique position to teach Garnet Amethyst and Pearl and maybe the rest of gem-kind about living in harmony with nature just by being and thriving.
