Microgreens have a BIG impact! 🌱 Just ask Logan C., a special education teacher and Pilot Light Food Education Fellow in Salem, IN:
"In the second lesson, students transitioned to planting their microgreens. Each team was assigned specific roles—waterer, soil prep, seeder, etc.—to encourage collaboration. They gathered materials, planted their seeds, and placed them on the shelf for growth. Before planting, students received a brief lesson on the key variables necessary for seed germination and plant health."
Gardening as a class promotes collaboration and skill sharing for learners of all ages and abilities! What does your classroom grow together?
