Kale Kits for Virtual Students

The Plants for Human Health Institute worked with Cabarrus County Schools to gather supplies and develop educational resources for every 2nd grader to plant, grow, harvest and prepare kale. The “Kale Kit” included a nursery pot, a 1-gallon bag of soil, an envelope with 5 seeds, an instruction sheet (with a supplemental video) and recipe.​Nothing makes us happier than when teachers share their student’s enthusiasm for learning. Amy received this text from a teacher, whose child happens to be a 2nd grader: “I came out this morning from exercising and found this. He was outside by himself, still in PJ’s with his kale. I love it!”What an independent fella! He’s got his laptop, watching the how-to-plant video, soil in the pot and seed packet in-hand. We can’t wait to get some photos of his harvest!
