Farm and Garden Study

Some of our favorite subjects to study are farming and gardening. There are so many avenues you can take during your learning time that you could spend an entire year on the topics!

Agriculture and botany are great subjects for a whole family to enjoy. Children of all ages can discover the wonder inside a seed and the process it takes to make their favorite foods and products.

    A farm and garden study would certainly have been a favorite of mine. I love the label the sprouting plant. I homeschool my now grown children and wish I would have had some of the resources available now.
