Standards-aligned lessons, in-person setup, and no outdoor space required.
Running in Boston schools since 2023.
Lessons generated to your grade level and curriculum, plant science, food systems, nutrition and sustainability.
No outdoor space and no plumbing. The grow lab rolls in and runs on a classroom outlet.
We set it up; teachers run four prepared lessons and need no growing experience.
A four-week arc lets students see the whole cycle inside a single unit.
Running since 2022 at the Murphy School, Edison K-8, Devers, Taylor and South Boston Catholic Academy.
A training portal, tutorial videos, onboarding check-ins, and a named human to email.
Every activity is built around one of ten learning outcomes, and each one is aligned to the current Massachusetts frameworks and the CASEL competencies, so a grow lab counts as core instruction across science, math, literacy, health and social-emotional learning, not an add-on.
Plant anatomy, lifecycle, germination, photosynthesis and hands-on observation of living systems.
Macronutrients, microgreens, food origin, and the link between what we eat and how we feel.
Box breathing, sensory observation and present-moment awareness as tools for learning and wellbeing.
Self-awareness, empathy and relationship skills through reflections, circles and structured sharing.
Connecting food to identity, building a grower identity, and confidence in one’s ability to grow and create.
Tracing food from soil to table, the water cycle, decomposition, and how living systems connect.
Teamwork, circle sharing and civic discussion about food and access.
Measuring growth, calculating rates, charting and analyzing real class data.
Sensory engagement, germination reveals and a felt connection to living systems.
Seed-to-plate skills: planting, harvesting, tasting and simple food preparation.
Every activity prints with its standard codes and its learning outcomes, so your curriculum team gets an audit-ready record, not a marketing claim. Recurring, weekly and optional expansion activities let a teacher weight the program toward the outcomes they need to hit.
One teacher, one grow lab, one term. The simplest way to see it work.
Three or more classrooms running together, with multi-classroom pricing. This is how it works best.
In a limited number of Boston schools each term, our facilitators teach it themselves. Places are limited. Apply →
