Eggs, Corn, and Beets

This week in the garden we could feel spring in the air!
We kicked-off garden club with an egg hunt.

In the Garden: The students planted corn, freckled lettuce, and more flowers.

Activity: The kids had the chance to learn and eat the parts of a plant.

  • Roots: Carrots, beets
  • Shoots: Celery
  • Leaves: Lettuce
  • Seeds: Sunflower seeds
  • Flowers: Talked about edible flowers
  • Fruit: Grapple (looks like an apple, tastes like a grape)
New Addition: The boys in particular LOVED our new garden addition...the "Excavation Site" where they can dig holes!

Have a Happy Spring Break!
