Spring hasn’t arrived to Aruküla yet as you can see from the first photo and we decided to experiment with natural materials indoor. There were two experiments.
First one was called “Thirsty celery”. We did taste celery at first and then we put three branches into three differently coloured water. After a few days we could see how differently coloured liquid had changed celery. The celery looked best in a clear water.
Second experiment was very traditional for Estonians. We do this in the beginning of spring when we feel a need to see some green leaves after a long cold dark winter as symbol of new beginning in nature. We do not eat these leaves, we bring them into a warm room and we observe how leaves start to grow from the buds.
