Homeschool Garden Club
-
Homeschool Garden Club is a hands-on, season-long experience designed for young gardeners ready to go deeper. Instead of one-time activities, students take real ownership of the garden learning how to maintain beds, make seasonal decisions, and care for plants from seed to harvest.
This advanced outdoor program focuses on the rhythms of a working garden: soil care, planting strategies, maintenance, harvesting, and teamwork. Perfect for returning families or kids eager for more responsibility, Garden Club invites participants to build confidence, independence, and a true understanding of what it means to be a gardener.
*Grow Your Soul is an approved vendor for StepUp and registration is available directly through the EMA portal*

About the Venue
The Kitchen House is a nonprofit organization located in the heart of an Orlando, Florida neighborhood focused on hands-on food and garden education. The garden spans over three thousand square feet, and includes row plantings and raised beds, surrounded by edible and non-edible perennial plantings. The garden is a place of abundance and beauty, respectful of its residential settings. It produces enough food to supply educational programs, with some left over offered to the community through garden shares and donation.
