Ilderton Spring Clean-up - April 28th

Hi Everyone!

 

The Optimist Club is looking for volunteers to help clean-up the stretch of Hyde Park road leading south of the village, as well as a bit of tidying and repair at the Junction Park gazebo on the main street on Saturday morning, April 28th.  

 

Many hands makes quick work, so we'd like to get as many volunteers as possible.  If you are available and interested in helping please contact Rick Horton at 519-666-3615 or email end_of_the_skype_highlightinhortonrick@execulink.com.519-666-3615

 

Thanks for helping keep Ilderton clean!

 

Happy parenting,

Jean

The Best Seeds for Kids

So I have been doing some research about sowing seeds since I have been wanting to plant some seeds with my three year old.  I want to show her how a seed grows into a plant and to let them germinate in the house before we transfer it outside.

In my research, I have found the best seeds for kids are the following:

1. Zinnias
2. Marigolds
3. Cosmos
4. Sunflowers
5. Grass 
6. Mini Carrots
7. Zucchini
8. Cypress vine
9. Cucumbers 
10. Radish
11. Gourds or mini pumpkins
12. Green beans

I think that we are going to try the zinnias, cucumbers and the green beans. How about you? Try them out and let me know how it goes!

Happy parenting,

Jean
