Blooming Gifts for Mom at Canadale!

Happy Mother's Day!
Hi Kids,
Our Moms are pretty important people. They do a lot for us and show us they care in many ways. This Sunday is Mother's Day and it's a chance to say THANK YOU to our Moms for all they do. It's also a great time to do something special for Mom. At Canadale Kid's Club this weekend we are making special gifts for Mother's Day! Come out, make a Mother's Day gift and make Mom's day!
This Week's Activity

This weekend at Kid's Club we are making a special gift for Mom, while continuing our series on Growing Your Own Veggie Garden! Come in to plant an Herbal Mint Plant for Mom's tea! Then decorate it with a Mother's Day Pick and a card to show you care. Plus, an instruction card for how to make fresh mint tea. 
 
Kid's Club runs this Saturday & Sunday from
10am - 4pm and is FREE for kids of all ages! 
All About Mint!

Mint is a perennial herb with very fragrant leaves and tiny purple, pink or white flowers. It has a fresh, aromatic taste. There are many varieties of mint, all preferring full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep soil evenly moist. When planting, keep in mind that mint is a vigorous spreader. It is ideal for containers or in areas where there is a natural barrier, such as a wall or walkway. Frequent harvesting is the key to keeping mint plants healthy. You can harvest a mint plant 2-3 times a year or you can just pick the leaves as needed. Young leaves have a better taste and can be harvested as soon as they emerge in spring. Mint bunches can be collected and dried or can be frozen to extend the harvest.
