An average class lesson in our mobile greenhouse starts with the reading of an age appropriate book concerning nature, agriculture, or nutrition. Following the story, children taste four fruits and ten vegetables. Previous foods offered include apples, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pears, kiwi, broccoli, tomatoes, bok choy, microgreens, spinach, green beans, peas, carrots, celery, and red onion. This portion of the class takes about 30 minutes, with an additional five minutes to taste the vegetables the children have grown themselves in the boxes.

There are many benefits to growing your own food. Growing your own food allows you to create less waste, connect with nature, and save money amongst many other things. Teaching your children the values of gardening also gives them the opportunity to try new foods and see the result of their work from start to finish. Check out our website today to learn how we are using mobile greenhouses to teach pre-K children more about gardening and healthy food options in the Philadelphia area.
