Who says Spring, also says gardening! Sun is coming back, it’s the ideal moment to start planting . Turn this moment into a great workshop to make with the whole family : decorate the terracotta pots with your little ones before initiating them to aromatic planting . They will be very happy to see their plants growing in a few weeks and eat them later.
Aromatic plants can grow perfectly in pots. You can easily place them on your balcony or on a windowsill. However, you have to be careful concerning their place because this type of plants needs a lot of light to grow. Get out your gloves and your seeds! Here we go!
For this worskshop, you will need :
- Terracotta pots (about 15/20 cm diameter)
- Acrylic paint or spray cans
- Brushes
- Felt pens or markers
- Stones or clay balls
- Breeding ground
- Basil, mint and parsley seeds
- Gloves
Little tip : Insert wooden sticks in your different pots and apply labels with the name of each of plants you sowed ! You can also stick them directly on the pot.
You’ll have to brace yourself with patience till your plants grow to see the first leaves appear ( usually 1 month for parsley). Also think about watering your plants on a daily basis as soon as the ground is dry.
