Profits fund a free 72-cell seedling tray
Local school receives seedlings + guidance
Each month we sell out, a school benefits. The more packs sold, the more schools we can reach.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
More than seedlings.
SEEDLINGS
Free 72-cell seedling trays
Seasonal, pollinator-friendly varieties selected for school growing conditions. No cultivars with pollen bred out, only real plants that benefit the environment.
GUIDANCE
Free growing guidance
Growing guides, planting plan templates, and care instructions tailored to your school's garden space, and to how much time your class actually has.
CURRICULUM
Curriculum connections
Links to maths, science, communication and teamwork capabilities. Built in, not bolted on. We help you see where the growing activities connect to what you're already teaching.
No idea where to start? That's exactly who this program is for. Fill in the sign-up form below and we'll handle the rest — choosing the right seedlings, timing the delivery, and connecting the activities to your curriculum. It's designed to be genuinely low-effort for teachers.
PROGRESS TO DATE
Who’s growing with us.
“Thank you for supporting our gardening program with the children the other day. During group time today we also talked about worms, and the children decided to create a worm farm in our room—we’ll make sure to look after them well!
Thank you once again for your support. The children absolutely loved your gardening session.”
