This year, we asked the Rock Creek Conservation Corps (RC3) crew members to blog about their experiences. You can see the rest of their work over on the RC3 Tumblr page. Head over to the crew curated blog to see this and many more blogs and photos in their natural habitat. Now, I will leave it up to RC3 Crew C4 to teach you how to plant a plant.

Written collaboratively by C4.

MY CREW WILL BE TEACHING YOU HOW TO PLANT A PLANT AND THE MAIN STEPS ON MAKING SURE THAT YOUR PLANT IS READY TO GO AND HOW TO WATER THE PLANT.

1. MAKE SURE YOU SOAK THE SOIL (THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS TO MUCH WATER.)

2. GET A SHOVEL AND MAKE A DEEP HOLE FOR YOUR PLANT TO SIT IN, MAKE SURE IT’S STRUCTURED WELL

3.PUT YOUR PLANT IN THE SOIL AND PAT THE DIRT AROUND THE SOIL

4. WATER THE SOIL FOR THE NEW PLANTS THAT YOU JUST PLANTED

5. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE BED TO MAKE SURE ITS NEAT AND FUN FOR KIDS TO GO IN AND LEARN ABOUT THEM

6. TAKE OUT ANY EXTRA LEAVES IN THE BED

THANK YOU.
