    Hi all! FoodCorps just shared their super cute downloadable garden Valentines. Does anyone else have ideas for Valentine's Day crafts and activities related to the garden?

    At the library we are recycling construction paper and making seed paper valentines. We get to use our scrap paper, the kids think it is fun, and hopefully we will be spreading flowers!

    Making seed paper is always so much fun!  Here are some instructions for one way to make them in case anyone has not done it before:  https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-homemade-paper-valentine-hearts/

    We found that by shredding the paper and soaking it overnight (or two), an immersion blender did a fantastic job of churning up the paper into a sludge. We had around 20 people show up to make seed paper hearts!

    I wanted to share our activity that we did with life skills kids this morning at the middle school. We made "seed" Valentine's!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HYa69iaBNI
