For this month’s competition, we challenge you to make your own silly cress heads.
Cress heads are so much fun! Cress seeds sprout and grow REALLY quickly, adding a funky hairdo to any decorated egg or pot.

No compost needed!

Thank you to every reader who did the research and made the case for their champion.
