Lettuce

In this video, we learn all about lettuce. You’ll hear what makes lettuce a healthy choice and see how it grows with Farmer Cam at the Morningside Urban Farm and Ms. Lucy from the Roanoke City Public Libraries.

Then, adults can help kids build their own salads like the one in the video, demonstrated by Angela of Carilion Clinic. For more fun facts about lettuce, explore the Lettuce Harvest of the Month Newsletter!
