​​What You Need to Plant a Seed:                                         

  • Seed of choice
  • Soil
  • Pot (if not starting seed in ground).
  • Sun
  • Water


*Remember to check everyday to see if your plant needs water. Be careful not to give it too much water! Put your finger in the dirt. If it is dry add water.*

What is the Difference Between an Annual and a Perennial Plant?

Annuals- These need to be replanted every year (Sunflowers, Petunias, Marigolds, etc)- I recommend starting with annuals if you are new to gardening.
Perennial- These will come back on their own every year (Tulips, Daffodils, Crocuses, etc).
