Morning Starters: Summer 1 - Fascinating Fruit
Did You Know?
Fruits are nature’s way of helping plants spread their seeds! The bright colours and sweet tastes attract animals and humans, who eat the fruits and carry seeds far away. Blackberries are clever: they ripen at different times, ensuring animals are frequently tempted, spreading seeds over many weeks. This strategy makes sure new blackberry bushes have the best chance to grow in a variety of places!
