Listener Questions: Plants, Seeds, and the First Green Thing 🌱🍃

About this episode

This episode features questions from two six-year-olds about the origins of seeds and how plants get their color.

In this episode we have two questions from two six-year-olds living on opposite sides of the world. Nora Peng is six years old and lives in Hangzhou, China. Yumi is six years old and lives in Florida in the United States. Nora Peng wants to know where the very first seed on Earth came from. And Yumi wants to know how plants get their colour. Grown-ups: we value your feedback. Our email and message link are in the episode notes—please send us your child’s questions and thoughts.
