Plant a Seed Day 2021!

Posted on March 26, 2021 by Emma Dietrich, Program Coordinator

Every year on the first day of Spring, Big Green celebrates Plant a Seed Day, where we aim to get as many people as possible to plant seeds and start growing their own food!

For PASD 2021, Big Green Detroit passed out seed-planting kits, including microgreen and peat pellet grow kits, to over 1000 students in the Wayne-Westland, Ferndale, Southfield, and Hazel Park Public School Districts.

  • Kits ready for drop off at Ferndale Upper Elementary.
  • Components of our microgreen kits.

We’re so thankful for all the schools and teachers that participated in this year’s PASD, and for all of the donors that made this day possible!

We will post more pictures of growing seeds in the coming weeks – stay tuned!
