I love filling Easter Baskets. Sheryl my team mate grows her own grass. Check this out!
It is a fun and eco-friendly project for the kids. The grass grows very quickly, I usually start mine about 15 days before Easter, and it is beautiful and ready for the Easter Bunny to fill.
What you'll need:
Cellophane or piece of plastic
Grass seed, rye seed or wheat seed
Vermiculite
Basket to grow it in
Clean spray bottle
Water
A sunny window
How to make it:
Cut your cellophane or plastic large enough to line the basket plus stick out over the top edge by about one inch. If you use colored cellophane, it adds a nice decoration to the edges of the basket. Make sure you use one piece to prevent leaking.
Fill with vermiculite. Vermiculite is much lighter than soil, and is available at gardening departments. It also stays moist easily.
Cover the top with the seed, sprinkle a 1/4 inch layer of vermiculite over the seed, and water it with the spray bottle. Mist the seed every day.
In about 10 days you will have a good covering of grass, so start your grass 10-12 days before Easter.
