Community Service Update – T.S. Morris Elementary

Our friends at T.S. Morris Elementary welcomed the Old Alabama Town Herb Society (OATHS) members back on January 10 to meet with Mr. Freeman’s 5th grade class. The visit focused on discussing seeds and how important they are to our lives. OATHS members Toni Bourke and Jane McCarthy worked with the students by creating a fruit salad and talking about the seeds of each fruit used in the salad. The kids were impressed by the avocado seed, but not overly impressed with the taste of the meat. The avocado seeds were placed in water to show the kids how they will sprout. The basil plants from October’s project have all died, so we will plant basil seeds and bring some cuttings for the February project. We’d like to thank all involved and say that we look forward to our next discussion.
