What Plants Need to Grow?The kids talked about the fact that plants need sun, water, and soil to thrive. Then they made their own "chia pet" heads by filling a panty hose with grass seed and dirt. They decorated their cups by drawing on them and adding wiggly eyes. The older gardeners helped the younger ones. The kids took them home and are supposed to put them in a sunny spot and make sure they get water. They can watch the "hair" grass grow and even give it a haircut. A special thanks to Carla Bangs, Master Gardener, for helping us out with this project. We hope she joins us again!
