This homeschool garden study is geared towards ages K-9.

However older or younger kids will also benefit from a lot of these experiences, and they can still enjoy the books and the hands on gardening. Looking at your grocery receipts and determining what to grow or knowing where to plant your garden is a fantastic life skill even for teens and adults. Young children benefit from playing in the garden and helping alongside you so that it becomes a fond memory. The math skills for each student will greatly vary depending on their skill level.

This is a multi-age unit study so there’s something for kids of varying ages and you can adapt it to their current skill set.

Save the more challenging things for when they get older, gardening truly is a lifelong learning journey!

This unit offers a hands on approach with gardening tips from me. I’ve been growing food for our family for 15 years now and we’ve been using our home garden for math and science for years.

Enjoy it at your own pace and re-use many of the garden planning and organization pages year after year.

Digital file includes 100 pages of beautiful learning.

This unit doesn’t tell you how to grow each vegetable but helps you plan your best garden by understanding many of the basics. It offers tips and advice throughout the season when you deal with challenges.
