Every month subscribed kids receive a box from Plantland with different gardening goodies that has projects for them to grow vegetables, flowers & to help them understand that their actions have a bigger impact in the world while learning & playing outside.👧

When they see firsthand the complex relationship between plants, birds & insects, it will most definitely shape their world view in a positive & profound way!☘️
