Tower Garden Curriculum and Lesson Plans for School Classrooms

Tower Garden Classroom Curriculum

We’ve developed a curriculum that matches many state academic standards in English, math, science, and life skills. Each curriculum goes through a 6-week growing cycle taking students from building the Tower Garden to planting seeds through to a salad party. The curriculum covers more than science. Various parts of the Tower Garden and procedures to care for the plants are used.

This is a 7-week Tower Garden curriculum based on New York’s Social Emotional Learning standards for 9th-12th graders. Curriculum created by Steve Koontz, Keep It Watered, with the help of Dr. Rebecca Reynolds M.A., EdD, www.reynoldsprovisions.org.
