We had a workshop with the Bristol Garden Club this morning where we learned all about roots and how plants grow. We learned that we eat roots like carrots and radishes, that roots hold plants in the ground and provide them with nutrients. We also learned that air plants don't have any roots to grow in the ground and some plants can grow roots in the water!
We heard a story about roots and plants, then were able to do an art activity and explore various roots with magnifiers. We examined carrots, radishes, parsnips, ginger and other roots.
In our classroom we have an Boston Fern, two Spider Plants, an air plant, two Golden Pathos Ivy plants, a Prayer Plant and an Amaryllis.
