Gardening Galore
Series of videos and activities to encourage young and old to plant seeds and watch them grow.
Seed to Table
In the video, my son and I plant some seeds and seedlings in my home garden. I lead a visual activity where I go through the steps needed to harvest food at a farm. Additionally, my family and I demonstrate two healthy vegetable recipes that are fun to make with children (please note adult supervision is required for these recipes as knives are needed to cut and prep the vegetables). My video ends with a story, 'Sylvia's Spinach' by Katherine Pryor, about a girl that finally tries spinach after planting and tending to her own.
