Happening In the Gardens
Planting "Grow Cups" is a fun way to see what a plant's roots are doing beneath the earth's surface. Students at several schools have participated in this project this fall. They use a variety of seeds, which they place in the cups, pressing them around the sides, and then filling the cups with potting soil, leaving the seeds visible through exterior of cup. A black paper sleeve is put around the cup to encourage the roots to grow out
and along the clear sidewall.
When the sleeves were removed after several weeks, students got to see the amazing work that roots are doing for the plant, underground, where they can’t normally see! They also got to see up close what many different types of seeds look like and now can identify the little sprouts from those seeds when they grow in the garden. Planting "Grow Cups" is a very fun and inspiring project for students.
