This Guide focuses on the Tower Garden style of garden, but if you're not ready to take on that type of project just yet, you can still build something amazing for your students.

As with most projects, when you're just starting out, it's usually a good idea to start small. Stephen recommends aiming for "small, concentric circles of success".

If you're more interested in growing outdoors using soil-based growing environments, check out this Guide on urban gardens.

Or, if your students are at an age where it might be a bit ambitious to start a fully functioning vegetable garden, check out this Guide, which has a long list of great projects that are suitable for the home or classrooms.

Planting small gardens can be just as fun as building larger ones. For example, you can:

Grow flowers or herbs in recycled egg cartons...

Or plant succulents in recycled coffee tins...

Or build DIY mini-gardens in teacups!

Whatever type of garden project you plan on building, make a note of it in your Garden Plan.
