1. Combine cream cheese with powdered sugar.
2. Combine instant pudding mix with milk (do not use pudding that needs to be cooked!)
3. Combine the cream cheese mixture with the pudding.
4. Fold in cool whip and vanilla extract.
5. In a food processor, crush cookies until they are fine crumbs.
Assembly
Using a new 10" flower pot, alternately layer the cookie crumbs with the cream filling, beginning and ending with the cookie crumbs. Pack the bottom of the pot well with the first layer of crumbs to eliminate leakage
of the cream filling. Refrigerate 1-2 hours.
When ready to serve, arrange fresh flowers in center of pot (wrap stems with plastic to avoid any "real" dirt from getting into the dessert. Use a new gardening shovel to serve.
If serving to kids, use new small sand shovels and decorate with "Gummy worms" crawling out of the dirt !
