Watermelon splash! - Plant seeds @ AH Bracks Library

At this self-facilitating drop-in session, we’ll provide you with:

• Gloves and a seedling tray or egg carton with 12 planting slots OR bring your own 12-slot egg carton.

• Soil made from potting mix and FOGO compost.

• Seeds in season for sowing: sugarbaby watermelon, spearmint and lettuce (2-4 seeds per planting slot).

Stations will be set up with instructions for you and your child to sow your seeds (you’ll only need a few seeds per hole). We will also provide a small guide to take home and ensure your seedlings reach harvest for you and your kids to enjoy!

Please note:

• This event is mostly self-facilitating, so parents are required to follow instructions and assist their children in sowing seeds. Staff is limited on the day.

• Recommended child age: 5+.

• The event is drop-in, so you may leave as soon as you like.
