This unit introduces children to the basics of gardening through age-appropriate, hands-on learning. Kids explore how to plan a garden, plant and care for seeds, and understand soil health, while learning the science behind composting and the carbon cycle. Lessons also include seed-saving concepts and simple math activities using a seed tray to apply real-world measurement and counting skills.

Each box includes four carefully curated learning tools, along with downloadable curriculum and step-by-step video lessons, designed to support each activity and encourage meaningful, hands-on learning. These materials help children practice responsibility, observation, and problem-solving as they grow and care for plants.

Designed for children ages 6-12, this box builds confidence, patience, and practical life skills through engaging, science-informed lessons.
