Can't wait for this book, The Power Of Plants to reach everyone! People doubt, but plants change everything. When kids learn about plants along side the latest technology they change how they feel about life. They change how they feel about food. They change how they feel about so many things!!! Having been able to watch my daughter and her homeschool classmates change while learning and enjoy simple plants (noshing on lettuce, peas, and collards as they pass it by) has been very special.

Stephen Ritz talked at our local water sewer treatment facility where I was able to donate to his program and just fell in love with what he's doing. He takes kids in areas where there is no gardens, and sometimes no grocery stores... and gives them the understanding of real foods. Not only has it changed the lives of all of these children, but it's changed his life in many ways including his waist size. Of course when you start eating plants, it's a big boost to your inner being!! I love that!!
A Gardening Project will engage students through Next Generation Science Standards including:
- K-ESS2-2 Earth's Systems
- 1-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms : Structures and Processes
- 2- LS2 Ecosystems : Interactions, Energy and Dynamics
- 3 - LS1 From Molecules to Organisms
- 3-ESS2 Earth's Systems
- 4-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms
- 5-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms
- 5-LS2 Ecosystems
