SEARSPORT — To celebrate the start of spring, Friends of Sears Island will be offering free grab-and-go activity kits for children themed around seeds, soil, and garden planning.
This month’s kit will include materials to make biodegradable plant pots, soil, a packet of flower seeds donated by the Troy Howard Middle School garden program, and popsicle stick plant markers to start seedlings indoors. In addition, children will find a small observation journal inside the bag for sketching out summer garden plans and recording changes to the seedlings as they grow. Educational handouts and project instructions will also be provided.
