Wonderful things can arise from the tiniest of seeds, echoing the enchanting journey of both nature and childhood. Each moment spent planting a seed cultivates not only a plant but also a sense of wonder and curiosity in young hearts. The joy that lights up a child’s face as they witness the miracle of growth—watching a seedling courageously break through the soil—is truly a testament to the power of hands-on learning.

We are wholeheartedly committed to creating enriching opportunities for thousands of children to engage with the natural world, nurturing their appreciation for sustainability and environmental stewardship. Together, we can inspire a generation that understands the profound connections between small beginnings and the incredible transformations they can lead to, ultimately fostering a vibrant, interconnected community.

Hear from your colleagues:

“Last year, I used the ‘Plant a Seed’ unit with my Kindergarten class. The kids loved it. I read the books that were included, and the pictures were vibrant with color. Great books! After we read, all the kids got their own tiny pot with soil and planted their seeds. We placed them on the windowsill and watched them grow. (…) They learned a lot and at the end, got to take home their plants, (which was their favorite part, I’m sure). I would definitely use this unit again in the future.”
