Little ones can embark on a vibrant journey through the world of gardening alongside young explorers, Michael and Meghan.

With every stroke of their crayons, children not only unleash their creativity but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for nature’s wonders.

Hear from your colleagues
“It was a pleasure working with Plant a Seed & See What Grows Foundation. This book-based program is a perfect pairing for library programs. They provided us with high quality program materials, including colourful picture books, seed packets and activity booklets, all of which helped us bring families together to learn more about gardening and explore the seed-to-table cycle. Kids were drawn in by the readings and delighted to plant their own seeds to take home and watch grow.”
