Leading our youth

John Tesh was on the radio the other night and, as I was searching for that perfect song that makes you want to burst out  singing, something he said made me pause. They (whoever they are!) had taken a survey with children asking them to name different types of phones and different types of vegetables, and the one they struggled with. was naming vegetables!   I couldn’t think about my perfect song any more, this was much more important. (You think I’m joking; I’m not.)

When you are driving down the highway, do you see those billboards that say children learn by watching, so make healthy choices?  Well, this time that obnoxious board was right. I did some research and discovered ‘Powerful Plants’!  ‘Powerful Plants’ vegetable and flower seeds are a fun new way to encourage kids to plant their own gardens and teach the importance of a garden.
As 'Powerful Plants’ put it perfectly:  "Look up. Look down. The power is all around you…It’s up to you to use it now”.  The packets come to life through a phone app and talk to you about what type of vegetable it is and also gives some fun facts! 

We just got our first shipment in so make sure to stop by with or without the children and have some fun!
