What is a GrowLab?

A GrowLab is an indoor garden with which students can learn through active experiences. The light configuration enables the students to grow many vegetables and herbs within a workable amount of time, holding enough containers for a class garden.

The Conservancy provides these units to schools, thus helping students to gain an understanding of life cycles, ecosystems, food origins and the dynamics of plant growth.

Is it for me?

So, you say you have no gardening space available around your school. The GrowLab will provide your students with valuable plant-growing space. With the right timing and planning of seed planting, you will be able to have a productive "garden" all year indoors! And for those who are fortunate enough to have outdoor gardens, the GrowLab serves as a place to start your seeds early.
