A lesson on observation, germination, root systems and so much more!

Do you struggle with lack of space to grow seeds in your program? Do you often wish you had endless counter space, a grow light or a green-house? Look no further? The Garden in a Glove is the perfect solution. It is simple and brings great results and rewards. Here are 5 simple steps to get you started.

Materials Needed:

Rubber Bands, Cotton Balls, 5 types of Seeds, Vinyl Gloves ( make sure they are latex free), thin Sharpie and a Smile!

We did this activity in my Child Growth and Development class at NSCC class. A student shared his progress of his Hand Garden and sent in these pictures. Way to go Tyler!
