Fall 2026 classrooms are now booking, reserve a grow lab for your students
For schools & districts

Hands-on food education, ready to run in any classroom in your building.

Standards-aligned lessons, in-person setup, and no outdoor space required.
Running in Boston schools since 2023.

Why administrators choose it

Built to fit what you already teach

Standards-aligned

Lessons generated to your grade level and curriculum, plant science, food systems, nutrition and sustainability.

No facilities required

No outdoor space and no plumbing. The grow lab rolls in and runs on a classroom outlet.

Low teacher burden

We set it up; teachers run four prepared lessons and need no growing experience.

Fast, visible results

A four-week arc lets students see the whole cycle inside a single unit.

Proven in Boston

Running since 2022 at the Murphy School, Edison K-8, Devers, Taylor and South Boston Catholic Academy.

Real support

A training portal, tutorial videos, onboarding check-ins, and a named human to email.

Standards alignment

Built to your Massachusetts standards

Every one of our 43 activities is mapped to the current, adopted Massachusetts frameworks across five subjects, so a grow lab counts as core instruction, not an add-on.

Every activity card prints with its standard codes, so your curriculum team gets an audit-ready record, not a marketing claim. We map middle-school plant science to matter & energy in living systems, exactly as the MA framework structures it.

Three ways to start

1

A single classroom

One teacher, one grow lab, one term. The simplest way to see it work.

2

A grade team

Three or more classrooms running together, with multi-classroom pricing. This is how it works best.

3

Our Boston program

In a limited number of Boston schools each term, our facilitators teach it themselves. Places are limited. Apply →
