Seasonal Growing Guide for School Gardens

Growing food year-round in a school setting requires planning, but with the right crops and seasonal awareness, your Tiny Tower Garden can be productive all year. Here’s a seasonal guide to help teachers and students get the most out of their school garden. 🌱 

Spring is the perfect time to plant fast-growing leafy greens and herbs that thrive in mild temperatures.

✅ Lettuce, Spinach, Kale: These greens grow quickly and are perfect for classroom salads. 
✅ Basil and Cilantro: Fragrant herbs that are fun to grow and harvest. 
✅ Strawberries: Start early for a summer harvest.

During the warmer months, focus on plants that produce fruits and require plenty of light.

✅ Cherry Tomatoes: Easy and fun to grow, with sweet, juicy rewards. 
✅ Peppers: Both sweet and hot varieties thrive in summer. 
✅ Cucumbers: Provide support for vines to climb.

As temperatures drop, switch back to cooler-season crops.

✅ Broccoli and Cauliflower: These hearty vegetables are great for late harvests. 
✅ Parsley and Chives: Cold-tolerant herbs that grow well into autumn. 
✅ Swiss Chard: A colorful, nutrient-rich option.

With the right lighting setup, your Tiny Tower Garden can produce food indoors all winter.

✅ Microgreens: Fast-growing and perfect for indoor settings. 
✅ Lettuce: Continues to grow even in low-light conditions. 
✅ Mint and Basil: Indoor-friendly herbs for winter teas and soups. 

💡 Tip: Rotate crops seasonally to maximize productivity and introduce students to new plants each term.
