Welcome to The Abundant Garden Curriculum! You've made a great choice for a successful, relaxed and fun way to educate your child.

Research has shown that children who spend time outdoors are healthier, smarter, happier and more attentive. Kids who garden do better in reading recognition and comprehension, mathematics, spelling, and written language. So how do we get more time outside? By using nature as the teacher! A garden naturally engages a child and creates an atmosphere where one can observe, explore, discover, experiment, and grow. Even a small container garden can teach concepts in math, science, art, history, Bible, and more.

Gardening also teaches essential character traits such as patience, grace, perseverance, responsibility, the joy of hard work, and respect for God's creation. Gardening is a parent's best curriculum! If you have land or live in an apartment, learn at home and/or go to school, if you learn by seeing, hearing, or by doing, "The Abundant Garden" curriculum will help you learn the important lessons that gardening has to offer.

Designed to begin in September and end in June, this flexible, comprehensive unit study approaches a variety of subjects in a gentle and practical way, simplifying the learning process. The Abundant Garden curriculum helps you educate your child by using an experience, project, and literature-based way of learning.

There is an app available to receive your courses which allows you to access the lessons, booklists and activities from your phone or other devices. 

We hope that you thoroughly enjoy this curriculum and love learning with your family along the way!
