We took our first field trip today...hurray!! The students did a fabulous job listening at both Plantpeddler locations! First, we went to the Plantpeddler Young Plants location. We learned that they have more than 350,000 plants in that greenhouse. It was A LOT of plants. A lot of them were poinsettias for Christmas time. We got to watch their machine wash the huge trays that the plants sit on. That was really cool. We learned they water the plants using a machine called a boom. It can move over the plants and people can even ride on it! At the second site (along the highway) we got to try cucumbers and tomatoes. They were delicious!!! The cucumbers were seedless. Finally we got to see three different plants that have unusual plant defenses. One of them was a Venus Fly Trap - we were really excited since we'd just been talking about that type of plant defense!! Ask your child what else they learned...
