KidzGrow's first session

It was the first time many of us had met. Five fabulous youths and their families came to the West End Rec Centre in Guelph (where Kidsability is located) and were introduced to a few plants that we will be working with throughout the season. This time of year is too cold to be in the Garden, but that doesn't mean we can't do fun things with plants indoors!

Some plants had pretty flowers, others colourful leaves, and sweet smelling scents. Just like people, each plant is special with unique gifts to share.

The kids learned how to propagate spider plants from a large spider plant that had many baby plant-lets growing from it.

We also had time to start adding a bit of colour to our new grow light stand that Jason built for us. We'll be finishing up the painting when we meet next.
Thanks also to Heather, Judith, Tamara, Judy, Nathan, and Erica for helping out our first evening together.
