Science Day

Science Day: Have your child cut a clipping of a favorite rose bush or plant in your yard. Cut off any flowers. Put desired clipping in a cup filled with water. Leave in shade and make sure it always has water. After a month when the clipping has grown roots, plant in POT with good soil. Keep out of hot sun. When cutting gets bigger you can plant it in the ground. Clippings don't always grow well, depending on the plant. Try it with different greenery you have in your yard and see what works. I've had good luck with roses myself. You can call your local nursery and ask them what plant clippings work best in your area.
