EarthBox® Standards-Based Site Packages
for Classroom and After School Use
EarthBox® Pre-K–12th grade standards-based
curriculum support packages bring science to life with hands-on, cross-curricula lesson plans that teach students the innate
principles and properties of water, light, soil, plants and nutrition by utilizing the scientific method in student-driven
experiments that take place in a scientifically engineered container garden system, the EarthBox® Ready-to-Grow Kit, available
in Green or Terracotta.
EarthBox® Garden Packages bring the multi-faceted joys of gardening to life with an easy-to-use EarthBox® container garden system that guarantees
success without weeding, hoeing or digging. It is an ideal tool to build horticultural skills and self-esteem in youth, senior,
and institutionalized populations. Packages include either a Youth, Senior or Institutional Garden Guide. The Youth Garden
Guide is correlated to the standards-based support Curriculum. The Senior Guide features easy-to-do, fun-filled activities
of specific interest to seniors. The Institutional Guide focuses on growing, nurturing and consuming twenty-one healthy crops.
EarthBox Ready-to-Grow Garden Packages are available for purchase in Green or Terracotta. Plant EarthBoxes with seeds or seedlings.
