The Plant a Seed—Read! program helps inspire children to achieve their dreams and realize their full potential. The program is also designed to connect children to the natural world and encourages them to become caretakers of planet earth.
“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.”
