Start a beautiful flowering plant for someone you love or to brighten your
days during the long winter.
| 1. |
Protect your work area with newspaper. Paint a pretty picture
or pattern on the clay pot and dish. Allow to dry.
|
| 2. |
Ask an adult to help you bend the clothes hanger into a circular
shape. See diagram.
|
| 3. |
Wrap the circular part of the clothes hanger with ribbon,
choose a colour that matches your painting.
|
| 4. |
With the masking tape, tape the top of the hanger to the
inside of the pot.
|
| 5. |
Fill the pot with soil and gently pat it down.
|
| 6. |
Poke four or five holes in the soil. Make the holes approximately
1 cm deep. Put one seed in each hole and cover with soil.
|
| 7. |
Attach a card with instructions on how to care for the plant.
Example: To brighten your winter days, here is a nasturtium plant. Place
it in a sunny spot. Water every few days. As the plant grows, twist it around
the wreath. If you like you can eat the flowers. |
