Overview
In this activity, students explore how understanding frost dates and using a seed-starting calculator can help them plan a successful school garden. Working in small groups and using data-driven tools, students will create a collaborative class-wide garden collage that reflects their local growing season, planting schedule, and the specific needs of different crops.
This activity is 2 of 4 in the "Things to Know Before You Grow" module from Farm to Table Kids. Visit the module to view the full set of learning resource and learn more about Part 2 of the module series, "How to Grow Dahlias."
