Grow your own vegetables with Lowe's YMCA

  • When: Monday, April 6, 2020 - All Day Event

Did you know some of our branches have their own gardens and some of our Preschool and Afterschool students have the opportunity to learn about growing their own food? Give your kids the same opportunity with this great activity that is all about growing vegetables!

ITEMS NEEDED:
-Leftover food (end of celery, carrots and potatoes).
-Toothpicks.
-Cup and plate with some water.
-Eventually-some soil to plant in.

Instructions:
1) Take the end of the celery (2 inches), carrot tops (1 inch) and half a potato and place in water.
-Carrot in a little bit of water on a plate.
-Celery in a little bit of water in a cup.
-Potatoes need 3 toothpicks to hang over a cup of water.

2) Change the water each day.
3) Once they begin to grow (5-10 days), place them into the soil to complete growing!
