Our homeschool group went on a field trip to the Home Depot Garden Department! They did an amazing job with our little gang.
Setting ground rules..
Touring the department. We learned about how we need to prepare and support the soil, and what grows best in this area. The boys were really into smelling the fertilizers…
Learning about the parts of the plant and the vital role each part plays…
A big seed pod…
A little seed pod…
Each child got to plant two snap pea seeds in cups…
Divided into teams (one big kid/one little), the kids went on a scavenger hunt!
Learning the Home Depot cheer! The teams were divided into boys vs. girls..
A cactus parting gift…
Home Depot is awesome! They were so professional and friendly toward our group. We had a great time!
