Parts of the Plant!

Last week at Campbell Park, students and volunteers engaged in garden activities regarding parts of the plant! These parts included the roots, the stem, the leaf, and the flower. To better understand these parts, and their functions in the garden, we observed the various plants at Campbell. We observed their differences, their similarities, and the importance of their roots, stems, leaves, and flowers.

After observing the various plants and their parts, volunteers assisted students in harvesting some of these very plants to take home! Plants harvested include collard greens, broccoli, mustard greens, green onions, kale, arugula, and a couple strawberries! Volunteers and students alike were pleased with the knowledge acquired through this experiential learning process, and the opportunity to take home fresh organic produce for the students and their families! What a successful week.

We'll see you in the garden,
