I was listening to NPR one day and the guy being interviewed said that in 100 years, people will look back in disbelief on how we school our children. We put them in a room, all day long during their most active years and expect them to absorb everything. I love what you've shared because it gives kids educational, hands-on experience with the world. What a most excellent way to learn! I think this is a fantastic idea.

Mostly vegetables, but I've seen them do sunflowers as well. It's a great idea.
