Activities
Sprouting Workshop: Discover the power of sprouting! Sprouts are packed with nutrients and can be easily grown at home using just a jar and a windowsill. Visit our stand to learn all about sprouting and sample a variety of delicious sprouts, including lentil, mung bean, chickpea, and broccoli sprouts. In our hands-on workshop, you fill a plant pot with soil, plant pre-sprouted marrowfat peas, and give them a good water. You take your pot home, place it on a sunny windowsill, and watch the sprouts grow—ready to harvest in just eight days!
