Growing Up With a Mango Tree:
a Tree-Planting Activity

Just ate a mango? Loved it? Want another? You can go
to a shop and buy one, of course. But it's a lot more

fun (and free!) to use the seed of the mango you just
ate and make a few fruits of your own. All you need is
time and patience.

First, find a nice patch of empty land near your house.

Get a friend, sibling or grown-up to help you plant the
seed you saved in that patch. Make sure the soil is
loose and there's plenty of sun. It may take several
weeks of waiting, watering and watching before your

seed turns into a plant, so don't worry and definitely
don't hurry.
