​ We at Zenith Holland hope this  "Recipe for Seed Gardening" will help you with a great project for kids to get them excited about growing plants and creating their own gardens. 
Ingredients: 
  • 1 paper cup
  • Soil – seed starting or fluffy mix, we like G&B
  • Seeds
  • Fertilizer- organic is best, we like G&B
  • Pencil
  • Teaspoon
  • Light and water
 
Directions:
  1. Punch holes in the bottom of a plastic or paper cup* 
  2. Fill cup 1/2 full of soil 
  3. Sprinkle a pinch of fertilizer 
  4. Using pencil poke 3 holes in soil 
  5. Add seeds into the holes
  6. Sprinkle soil over seeds
  7. Using spoon drizzle a small amount of water (or use a spray bottle)
  8. Place in sunny window
 
     Always be sure to read your seed packet first for best results.
Some Tips: Soil should remain moist, not soggy. As plants grow, they may need to be transplanted into a larger container or acclimated to the outdoors then planted into the garden. * Try using egg cartons, plastic muffin or produce containers and other recycled items to sprout your seeds. Use your imagination and have fun with it!
