The program was featured for the after-school kids and the community could also attend! Tastings of mustard greens were served afterwards. Students planted red giant mustard greens, Georgia southern collards, watermelon, and tatsoi mustards, that they will later get to take home to plant in their yard, garden or window.

March 2, Tonia and Abbey from Seed St. Louis led the Green St Louis Machine after school kids in programs that involved worms and botanical journaling!
The snack was Caprese toothpicks made with basil growing in the Tower Gardens. Also, almost everyone wanted to try the balsamic glaze of the Caprese picks! As usual, the kids wanted to smell and taste the herbs and greens!
And of course some of the herbs and greens were fed to the worms!
