A Green Kid's Guide to Soil Preparation

Overview

A Green Kid's Guide to Soil Preparation will teach students how to build a raised bed with an adult's help! The process of selecting raised bed placement, building a frame, and layering the bed's soil is explained in detail. A container garden project will give students a hands on activity to get them interested in gardening. Common Core and State Standards for life cycles, soil, weather, measuring, observing, and reporting can all be connected to A Green Kid's Guide to Soil Preparation.
