Today The Veggie Lady LLC visited our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classrooms to explore the six parts of a plant we eat, focusing on what each part does for the plant, and all the amazing things these foods do for our bodies! Students tasted a colorful salad made with seeds (sweet peas), roots (carrots), stems (celery), leaves (lettuce and spinach), flowers (broccoli and cauliflower), and fruit (fresh, locally grown Cortland apples)!

Parent tip: Want to get your kids eating more salads? Try adding some fresh fruit for a little natural sweetness!
