We’re highlighting inspiring testimonials and classroom stories all week long—celebrating the creativity, care, and curiosity growing in school garden programs across the country. You can see some of the fantastic photos and quotes from Gardyners below!

In the meantime, thank you so much for all you do for your schools, fellow educators, and of course students.  💚


Hear it from Gardyners: 

“This has truly been an ongoing, hands-on project that connects learning across subjects while fostering ownership and pride in their work. Personally, I enjoy seeing the excitement when they discover new growth or bloom.  It has truly made it one of the best years of teaching.”


“My students love the Gardyns, I am so glad I was able to give them this hands-on opportunity. It such an easy set-up but also realistic to the industry standards. You guys have always been so quick to answer question and help with anything that is needed!”


“One of the most rewarding parts has been the shared ownership. Teachers and students regularly help with harvesting, and we have even been able to use what we grow in small food experiences, which makes it all feel full circle. Students take pride in caring for the system by monitoring water levels, checking plant health, and maintaining routines. It has built a strong sense of responsibility and connection. The Gardyn has truly transformed our space into a living learning lab, and it has been incredible to watch students engage with it in such thoughtful and curious ways.”


“The vertical design, user-friendly app, and simple assembly made it the perfect choice for a school (and home) environment. I now have two systems in my classroom and am already planning for more. I highly recommend Gardyn to anyone looking for an efficient, easy-to-use hydroponic system for home or school!”
