Resources

Community garden.
permission to visit, pick any grown foods.

Instructions

You can ask the girls to identify plants, specific fruits and vegetables. Even herbs. This can be done in groups. We played a quick game of Scavenger Hunt to find different plants growing. The girls enjoyed being able to identify things.

Leaders asked questions for the girls to answer like: which plant is your favourite ? which plant has the nicest smell ? Which plants promote bees to come into the garden?

Some community gardens only allow specific gardeners to pick the crops; be sure to ask permission before picking, or taking anything from the garden.
