Deepening understanding of plant life cycles, soil health, water conservation, and the connections between gardens, nutrition, and community wellbeing.
In Lower Primary, students transition from sensory exploration to structured inquiry. They begin to ask — and answer — scientific questions about how plants grow, why soil matters, and where water comes from. Garden journals, simple experiments, and collaborative projects build literacy, numeracy, and team‑work skills while nurturing a genuine passion for the environment.
