Heirloom & Organic Gardening (Grades 3–5)
Seeds, soil, and the patient work of growing real food — an elementary garden course.
Heirloom & Organic Gardening is taught in grade 3 through grade 5. Each year below is a complete course in its own right, with its own units, its own quizzes, and its own downloads.
This is a self-paced elective. It sits outside the daily schedule, so a family can take it over a summer, stretch it across a year, or skip it without unsettling anything else.
