Zip Lock Garden

Equipment:

• Several sandwich size zip close bags
• Paper towels
• Seeds - flower, vegetable, even acorns!
• Water
• Closepins or other hanging device

Instructions:

Fold a paper towel into fourths, and drip just enough water to get the towel almost - but not quite - entirely wet.

Sprinkle your seeds onto the paper towel, then slide the towel into the zip close bag. Smaller seeds will stick to the paper towel.

Hang the bag in a window. We clipped ours to the kitchen curtains using a clothespin. We've also hung a long string from the curtain rod and clipped the bags to it.

Repeat for all the seeds and bags that you have. You'll enjoy watching the growth of the plant!
