Cucumbers

In this video, we learn all about cucumbers. You’ll learn how to plant and care for young cucumber plants at the Carver Garden. Then, follow along with Mr. Wood from the Roanoke City Public Libraries as he reads Phil Pickle!

Adults can help kids make a cucumber salad like the one in the video. You can also make cucumber water or another type of infused water to stay cool this summer. Use the "Flavor Finder" for infused water ideas. For more fun facts about cucumbers, explore the Cucumber Harvest of the Month Newsletter!
