Sowing Seeds for Easter

The children and I undertook the preparation of a different kind of Easter basket today. We are planning some Easter basket gifts for friends and I suggested a "living" basket. I have seen the wheat grass baskets before but somehow this was the year that I realized that this was a simple project we could at home.

We began with simple materials: Potting soil, Small Metal Pails, and Wheat Berries

Each pot was lined with plastic wrap and filled with a few scoops of soil.

Next, we covered the soil with a scoop of wheat berries.

Lastly, we watered our little gardens.

And now, with a daily watering, plenty of sunlight, and lots of prayer, we hope to present our friends with a little basket of living wheat on the feast of our Lord's Ressurection.
