Hydroponic Gardening After School Program
TK-K 1-2 3-5 Middle
Leaf'd Box has been a leader in garden education, so it was natural for us to extend our expertise to in-person education. That's where STEM and Branches begins. We're an education company that focuses on bringing science and gardening workshops to your Afterschool Program.
10-Week Hydroponic Gardening Course
Hydroponics is the practice of growing plants in water. In our weekly program, we bring students on a journey from seeds to harvest as we grow plants in our hydroponic tower garden.
Each week, we bring new lessons and activities in biology, plant science, nutrition, and more! By integrating STEM principles and environmental education, the program aligns with district academic goals while fostering curiosity and critical thinking skills.
Empowering Learning Experiences
Students not only watch their plants thrive in hydroponic garden towers but also delve into interdisciplinary topics such as biology, environmental science, and nutrition. By participating in the planting, growing, and harvesting process, students develop a deeper appreciation for food systems and sustainability—an essential aspect of 21st-century education.
