What information will you include on your packets? This could include things like how and where to plant the seeds.
Do
Create vegetable seed packets that you can give to your friends and families!
Start by collecting your seeds. You can find them in a gardening store or you can save seeds from the vegetables and fruits you eat.
You can buy envelopes or make your own. Pack up your seeds and decorate the envelopes with fun designs and planting instructions.
Distribute the packets to your friends and family so they have the opportunity to grow their own vegetables.

Keep it Simple
If you don’t have a lot of time, you can choose to only include one type of seed.
Take it Further
For an added challenge, you can collect seeds from the fruits and vegetables you eat, instead of buying seeds from the store! Do some research to determine how different seeds can be collected, dried, and stored.
