2nd Grade Trip to the KC Beanstalk Garden

We traveled to the KC Beanstalk Garden today.  We toured the gardens and learned about where many of the foods we eat come from.  We also got to taste a variety of plants; some were sweet while some were very tart.  We planted some basil to bring home with us.  It was amazing to see all of the beautiful plants!

These are peanuts.

Analyzing the sunflowers.

Tasting one of the many plants.  This berry was sweet at the beginning, but then tasted antiseptic and kind of dried our mouths out.  

This is the sensitive plant.  The leaves curl up when you touch it.  I think the students could have played with it for hours! :)
