Start
Seed starting
Planning trays, labeling varieties, tracking germination, and learning what seedlings need in their first weeks.
Plants
Gardening as a living classroom.
Our plant projects help the kids learn observation, patience, record keeping, resourcefulness, and the work it takes to bring something from seed to harvest. Around the Colorado Springs area, we offer seasonal starter plants in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 inch pots when available.
Starter plants are local pickup only. Seeds may be available through our Etsy shop.
