Science Donations Needed

Hello Science Families!

I am in need of the following items:

-large plastic rectangle containers. Costco and other stores sell lettuce in these types of containers.

-Celery

Both items aren't needed until after spring break, so if you use the plastic containers, if you could please save them for me. If you or someone you know have celery in their garden, I would appreciate being able to use about 12-15 stalks.
