A garden in the dark? But don’t all plants need light to survive? Well, that’s just it. Mushrooms aren’t plants. They’re part of a whole separate kingdom of living things known as fungi. The Kids in the Garden series encourages environmental stewardship and promotes a healthy lifestyle while the kids (and adults) enjoy discovering the science of our natural world. Each program includes hands on activities with project lists. Activity: Grow Your Own Mushrooms.
