Are you ready to join Chef Selma and her broccoli pal for Growing Chefs! at home?
Chef Selma and her broccoli friend are here to tell you more about how we will be connecting with you during this time, and are getting you set up to grow a windowsill vegetable garden together!
New and exciting ways to connect
We will be bringing our classroom program to you! We are taking some snippets from what we normally do in the classroom and are transforming them into things you can do at home.
Our Spring program is aimed at kids in grades 1, 2, and 3, but we will be creating things for older kids as well.
You will be hearing not just from the Growing Chefs! staff, but from some of our volunteers as well: our chef friends, smart nutritionists, sage gardeners, and all-round awesome food lovers.
If you are an adult, and you would like to spend some of your inside time creating content with us: please reach out, we’d be happy to have you.
You can find this new online content here on our website, and we will be making announcements about it on our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
Thank you so much for your patience while we reinvent ourselves and our programs.
Getting ready for our garden
Enclosed is our first Garden Talk video. It is meant as an introduction of what we will be bringing you in the near future. We have noted some possible issues with sound volume, and we are working to fix it.
This video, and all following Garden Talk videos are created to be watched by children and adults together. Our friends may need some assistance with the activities, so please stay close by.
In this video we tell you what you need to start growing a windowsill vegetable garden, so you will have some time to find these things before the next video.
To grow a windowsill vegetable garden you will need:
Seeds
Soil
Containers
Water
Window ledge or table in front of a window
That’s it! That’s all you need, really. Make sure to check the video for more information.
We’ll chat about it all in our next Garden Talk video, to be released next Tuesday.
