    natural Easter baskets.

    Published: Mar 24, 2010 · Modified: May 13, 2013 · By Jill · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment



    i really love the idea of natural Easter baskets. tonight i hope to have my kiddies plant real grass to put in their easter baskets. i hate the imitation grass, and i figured it would be fun to have the kiddies water and watch their very own grass grow.



    i did a little research, and it seems like it is best to start at least 2 weeks before Easter, but you can start up to a week before Easter. and you can use regular grass seeds, wheat grass or cat grass.


    • If you only have one week to grow the grass, soak grass seeds in warm water overnight. If you have two weeks before Easter, proceed to the next step; soaking the seeds isn’t necessary.


    • find a glass pie pan, jar, or other container, to fit inside the Easter basket. put at least 1 ½ inches of potting soil into the bottom of the container and spread evenly. scatter the soil generously with grass seeds and cover lightly with soil.


    • gently yet thoroughly water the seeded soil and place in a warm sunny location.

    • make certain the soil remains moist at all times during germination. (a spray bottle is perfect for kids to keep the seeds watered)


    hopefully, this will result in a beautiful natural grass Easter basket.
