Garden Club makes vegetable soup

From peppers and spinach to tomatoes and green beans, the kids walking through the Stillpoint House of Prayer on Feb. 24 had their fair share of ingredient options. The Longboat Key Garden Club handed out the seeds, along with various children’s books on gardening, for a “Making Vegetable Soup” event. Preschool-aged children who visited Stillpoint were allowed to pick out one book and three seed packets, all donated by the garden club, in hopes that the kids would learn a little bit about gardening and make their own vegetable soup at home.
