Start
Seed starting
Planning trays, labeling varieties, tracking germination, and learning what seedlings need in their first weeks.
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.
