Planting Parsley

Last week we celebratd Tu B'Shevat, the birthday of the trees, a type of Jewish Earth Day. A perfect way to get into the spirit of the holiday is to do some indoor planting.

Sunshine, water, loving care, and a bit of luck is all you need to grow parsley. You can use parsley seeds or small parsley plant, either way - it's going to be fun!

You will need a small flowerpot, potting soil, parsley seeds or parsley plant, paint, markers, stickers and washi tape.

Begin by allowing your child to decorate the pot, and let dry. We started with some paint, washi tape and pompoms.

Next, we added the potting soil and the parsley plant, and watered the plant.

Place your plant in a sunny location and be sure to water it every few days or whenever you feel the soil is too dry.
