Growing Great Greens

How It Works:

Our staff come to you with a Growing Great Greens kit to teach your class all about growing plants which includes a 45 minute interactive presentation – and you keep the growing kit for 4 weeks (that’s 2 growing cycles!)

Grades JK-3: Explore how plants grow, where food comes from, and healthy eating!

Grades 4-6: Learn about food systems and sustainable agriculture!

A Presentation Just For You:
