Homeschool Garden Club
-
Looking for a fun, hands-on way to explore the world of vegetable gardening with your homeschooler? Our garden club is the perfect place for kids to immerse themselves in our large production garden, grow their own food, and develop lifelong skills all in our beautiful outdoor classroom! Designed with flexibility in mind, this program welcomes different ages and learning styles, making it a great fit for families looking for an enriching experience.
Each week, kids will dig into interactive lessons, plant and care for their own garden area, and explore topics like seed starting, plant parts, pollinators, and more. Whether they’re seasoned gardeners or just getting their hands dirty for the first time, they’ll gain knowledge, confidence, and a deeper connection to where their food comes from. Come grow with us!

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.
