“I am a 6th grade science teacher and have been using the EarthBoxes with my students for a number of years. The students have loved growing and harvesting the vegetables. This year, however, I used the EarthBox curriculum to supplement my teaching and it was wonderful. It is based on good science and is very teacher friendly. I would highly recommend it to other teachers.”
