Grow Your Favorite Veggies! Our"Grow Your Favorite Veggies!" field trip experience focuses on the rewarding experience of vegetable gardening. Children will discover vegetables that can be grown in the Chicago area (zone 5), and discussion of vegetables that are "tender" and will not grow in our cold climate. They will learn to recognize vegetable plants from weeds, how to weed a vegetable garden, and prevent weeds, too! Just as children grow, so do vegetables! So, children will learn about the space requirements for different vegetable plants - a tomato needs much more space than a radish! We will discuss what a vegetable plant needs to grow and thrive, including sunlight, water, and soil. Each child will then get the opprtunity to pick their favorite vegetable plant from our selection at Clover's Garden Center, and transplant it to take home. If your group is interested, this presentation can be modified to discuss growing herbs, as well. Note: Adult chaperones are required to stay with the group and are always free! |
