Romanesco Broccoli is a delicious and nutritious veggie with a nutty flavor. Sautéing this unusual veggie in olive oil and garlic we grew in The Giving Garden for the Great Veggie Adventure made a delightful meal. Romanesco is a seasonal item that is available during the fall (September – October) or you could grow some in your garden!

The Giving Garden sprouts to life even in the winter. See the carrots and spinach growing underneath the row cover in the Giving Garden. The students built a Wicking Bed in the fall to keep the soil moist and warm beneath the white fabric within the hoop house.

Our veggie adventure harvest produced the beautiful watermelon radish which we added to our homemade veggie soup that we were able to freeze and serve during the cold Michigan winter days. Kids got a big kick out of the soup and the new cool radishes!

After an hour in the morning helping sow and plant veggies for The Giving Garden's Great Veggie Adventure, our 4th grade students devoured a platter of fresh cut veggies. Without hesitation, they hungrily dipped asparagus spears, red pepper slices, broccoli florets, snap peas and baby carrots in Organic Hidden Valley Ranch. When kids are hungry they will eat veggies without hesitation! So put a plate of veggies in front of them and hold the cookies and other sugary snacks. See the videos here
