Spearmint Plants

Hello families of Room 8!!! As most of you know we were on a field trip today to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory. I had some parent volunteers taking pictures for us, and I hope to post a few in the next day or so. In the meantime, I wanted to let you know about the spearmint plant that your child brought home.

We were informed that this plant is a very hardy and aggressive perennial. If you choose to plant it in your garden, they suggested cutting off the bottom of a coffee can, and planting the plant in the coffee can in your garden. This way the plant will stay contained in your garden, and won't take it over. You can also plant it in a pot, and take some of it in for the winter to replant next year.

The pot that the plant came home in will break down in the soil, so you do not have to take it out, just plant the whole thing.

Enjoy!!!
