WHY GARDEN BOXES

Learning gardens are outdoor, educational environments where students discover soil science and agricultural sustainability through hands-on practice. With learning gardens, students explore how modern agriculture, gardening, and plant growth play a valuable role in food production, health, and sustainability. (Nutrients for Life)
