Willie and the Salad Bonanza

Posted on by Karen Blakeslee

K-State Olathe is hosting a Salad Bonanza! This event is open to schools, 4-H, scouts, FFA and other youth groups. The goal is to reach youth interested in the scientific principles of plant growth.

Teams of four youth will grow Dwarf Blue Curled Vates kale, Hybrid Space Spinach and Looseleaf lettuce in the same container in a 43-day time span. The challenge is to see who can grow the most produce! Teams will also fill out documentation to track the progress.

This containers will be judged at K-State Olathe. Learn more about this miniature farm-to-fork event. Registration is due September 30.
