Gardening projects for children
Green haired friend
Empty an egg and wash the shell . Fill with compost and sow some cress seeds on top. Use a felt tp pen and draw a face on the shell and stand it in an egg cup . After a few days , your children will be delighted to find they have a neww friend with long green hair.
Avocado tree
Insert three cocktail sticks into an avacado stone just above the base , then suspend over water with the base immersed . After several weeks , each stone should produce roots and a shoot, at which time it should be potted up. To encourage bushy growth , pinch out the growing tip when it is about 15cm (6 inches) high
Floral giants
Your children and their friends can each plant a sunflower seed , then enjoy the excitement of waiting to see whose will grow the tallest. They will be intrigued to see the plant grow taller than themselves .
