These are a fraction of the modules we have put together. If you have a curriculum you’d like to incorporate agriculture into, we can help. We have many resources available for you to use, including some fantastic partnerships with other non profit entities that help fill in where we leave off.
LET US KNOW HOW WE CAN BE OF HELP. We also offer virtual field trips in real time.
We are working on traveling displays for schools, civic events and other temporary locations.

Tomato Plant Instructions
● 1 planting disk
● 1 envelope of 2 tomato seeds w/ sand
Directions:
Place the plant pellet into a cup and cover with water.
Let it sit for 15 minutes, and the pellet will grow into a pot plus growing medium
Place the pellet into another container and open the envelope with the seeds.
Take the 2 seeds (flat, yellowish and tear drop shaped) and place into the dimple on the open end of the pellet pot. You can throw away the sand.
Put approximately 1 inch of water into the bottom of the container and watch the pellet pot to make sure it stays damp. Keep your container in a warm sunny space, like a window sill.
The seeds will sprout in a matter of days. When you have 4 leaves you may transplant the plant into a larger pot. Or in the ground.
