A hands-on introduction to gardening and STEAM

Brandy Stone’s guide combines beginner gardening basics with 25 projects that connect plant-growing to science, technology, engineering, art, and math. Activities include investigating soil, making a miniature greenhouse, sprouting food scraps, and building plant forts. Safety tips and advice on caring for plants give the experiments a practical foundation, while suggestions for adapting projects to groups extend the book’s use to classrooms and community gardens. Gardening is presented here as both a way to learn about the natural world and a set of activities children can try themselves.
