Plants

Growing plants and skills in our garden.

Our plant projects help the kids learn observation, patience, record keeping, resourcefulness, and the work it takes to bring something from seed to harvest. We offer our extra seasonal starter plants in pots from 2 to 8 inches when available.

Starter plants are sold locally only. Seeds may be available through our Etsy shop.
