Possibilities from the beggining !

The thing we love the most about our Tower Garden is the possibilities it offers. When we first thought about ordering our Tower, we were mostly thinking about the nutritional aspects of readily fresh healthy snacks in our home. Theory is if your kiddo has problems with foods, introduce them often right :) How about growing snacks in your dining room and offering often. How about having Feeding Therapist using in sessions?

We then discovered that it also had its own FREE curriculum! We had started Homeschooling our kiddos on the ESA when every option in public schools were exhausted and their special needs not being met. The curriculum is vast - and there are so many possibilities for learning OFF each one.

Examples:

Your kiddos will Learn the parts of plants. Roots, stems, leaves, fruits, seeds. Why not elaborate on that..... we've explored different plants that grow around the world and what makes that environment exceptional to that plant. We explored the countries plants came from, discussed why that environment and weather was important to that plant. We continued exploring the people and culture then, because what did they use that plant for? If it was used for healing properties that lead to learning about more healing plants. If it was for eating we discovered recipes for that culture and tried them, and wondered about other recipes from other cultures! If it was for tea drinking (Landon's favorite tea is now Spearmint and Sage) - we tried it and pondered other plants to drink in teas - where in the world they came from - and led us to learning more and more about people around the world.

In our exploration of healing properties of plants we also found a Homeopathy Curriculum we connect to our Tower Garden and grow herbs from our lessons.

We've discovered how important nutrition is, and the reasons why its so important to eat healthy foods - we have learned about the body, digestive system, the brain, and have gotten into a routine of eating off our Tower every meal.

You learn about PH Levels your plants need for growth. This opens the door for math, measurements, calculations. You can expand on just the math alone by having your kids calculate totals of what your Tower needs in 6 months or a year. Or before we even got to that lesson we were comparing costs of our vegetables we grow - to cost if buying in store - and using that to explore what people around the world pay for these things as well. Since everything grows 30% faster in your Tower they can calculate yields.

This all came from just the very first lesson - we have had our Tower almost 3 years now and there is still so much to learn and so many lessons available for free from the website.

Our next newest plant to try - Wheatgrass

If you read my first blog, you'll see strawberry starts in my cart with some seeds - January 9th. We are already getting berries and they have started ripening! (OZARK strawberries)
