Summer Sunflower Project

I saw this at Cheaper by the 1/2 Dozen and thought it looked like a great family project for the summer. It's all about growing sunflowers to help the bee population. They provide a free kit with all the supplies. Check it out!

Imagine...
Doing science right in your own backyard

Take part in “The Great Sunflower Project”

Great family activity
Prior knowledge of bees not necessary
It’s easy
It won’t take any more than 30 minutes
Do it in pots, or a private or public garden
All you need is a sunflower
Free materials (including information and seeds)
Participate alone or with others

Angela,

That sounds fun. I'm hoping we'll be able to have a garden this year, but it depends largely on when (and where!) we move.
