Windowsill Gardens
This past spring, the newly developed Windowsill Gardens model was incorporated into both the In-Person Learning and Virtual Classroom models. It helped students and teachers to start their own mini gardens at home, planting 4 different edible plant varieties.
We also offered robust support to teachers, with newly developed comprehensive lesson plans, demonstrations, and scientific experiments.
