Soil Testing Pack
In the spring, there is no better classroom than a garden! Whether you are tending to a few pots on a windowsill or managing a sprawling backyard homestead, the garden offers a unique, environment where science, math, and art naturally intertwine. At For the Love of Homeschooling, we believe in a nature-based, family-style approach to education that gets kids outdoors! By getting their hands in the dirt, children transition from passive observers to active botanists, soil scientists, and artists.
Why our Garden Bundle is Perfect for Your Homeschool!
Over the years, we have created a variety of garden-themed units, from our massive Seeds and Planting Nature Study to a variety of smaller nature studies focused on earthworms, snails, and pollinators, as well as botanist biographies, garden-themed language arts, math, art and craft packs, and so much more. Our goal has always been to help your family connect with the wonders of the growing world through deep-dive science, hands-on STEAM, and nature-based literacy.
To celebrate National Gardening Day, we’ve gathered every single one of these resources into one complete library—and for a limited time, you can get them all for just $25 when you purchase our Garden Homeschool Bundle!
Nature Studies
The heart of this bundle lies in deep, nature-based exploration. You can follow the slow trail of a snail, discover the "underground engineers" in our Earthworm study, or explore the 5 P’s of Pollinators. These studies are anchored by our massive Seeds and Planting unit, which takes you from ancient history to modern greenhouse engineering. To tie it all together, the Garden Journal provides a dedicated space for children to document every observation from seed to harvest.
