The new Plantarium Garden Lab includes seeds for three different plants “ basil, cucumber, and tomato “ and three plastic greenhouses (4.75 H x 1.75 W x 1 D) each with a different colored gel.

How does it work?

As a science project, kids 3 and up can create and observe experiments such as comparing the germination time of different seeds or the daily growth rate of a plant relative to hours of sunlight. Mini-pots and peat pucks are included for transplanting when the seedling outgrows the container. A complete guide is included ensuring that the Plantarium Garden Lab is not just fascinating fun, it's also educational.
