Dig into the science behind how plants grow, thrive, and support life! In this engaging, hands-on semester class, students ages 8–13 will explore the fundamentals of agricultural science through soil studies, photosynthesis, pollination, and garden-based experiments.

Each class builds on the last, taking students step-by-step through the process of building a successful fall garden. With monthly visits to a working farm and a garden-to-table finale, students will experience real-world connections between science, sustainability, and food systems.

Topics include:

🌱 Soil types & composting

🌞 Photosynthesis & energy transfer

🐝 The role of pollinators

🌿 Plant life cycles & seed dispersal

🪴 Designing and growing a small fall garden

🌎 Ecosystems, food webs, and interdependence
