It would be great fun to germinate this seeds and encourage school going kids to understand & love "nature" I heard few seeds need 24 hrs socking in water ,some need warm water socking ,but need proper guidence to enjoy this activities. Which one are "tough"ones to germinate? grow? why?? Hope some will share experience on this activity. ManyThanks |

When My wife taught second grade, she would have the children plant French Marigold seeds and grow a little plant that they could take home for Mother's Day. She poked some holes in plastic drink cups for drainage and used potting mix from the store. It takes about six weeks to get a bud or flower on the marigolds. They do OK in a sunny window. Tomato seeds are also easy. Zinnias are also easy growing seeds. There are just too many variables and complex procedures with rose seeds for them to be a good teaching tool for kids. Plus, they look really impressive when they bloom. Kids love 'em, and they make great blooms for arrangements. The great thing about zinnias is that you can also teach the kids to harvest the seeds once they mature. They are really easy to harvest and save for the next year. You can also teach them about deadheading as well. |

The rec.gardens.roses newsgroup focuses on growing roses, but I think you
are looking for more general gardening projects for kids. Try using Google to search for "kids garden projects" (or something similar), and you will find websites like the one below: http://www.kidsgardening.com/ Good luck!
