The plug-in-and-grow hydroponics lab for elementary classrooms — direct from the maker
This is the easiest way to bring a working, year-round grow lab into a PreK–4 classroom. This vertical hydroponic tower for classroom use ships fully assembled and pressure-tested, with no building, no leaks, and no complicated setup to take up a teacher’s prep time. Simply plug it in, add water, and let students get started with hands-on hydroponics experiments for students. Purchased directly from the company that builds and supports the system, it also gives educators direct access to the team for questions about lessons, hardware, and funding.
Why this rack fits elementary better than a tower or a reseller box
Sized for little hands. A compact 30"W × 14"D × 60"H footprint with tiers low enough for PreK-4 students to reach, plant, and harvest themselves.
Everyone grows, fast. Trays hold up to 15 microgreen trays or 30 student 6-cell trays — every child grows their own, and microgreens harvest in days, not months, so young students see results before they lose interest.
It runs itself. Automated LED spectrum tuned for edibles, energy-efficient fan arrays, and a self-watering tank on timed cycles. Maintain the water level and it grows on its own — through weekends and breaks.
Standards-aligned, not just fun. Curriculum and projects built with professional educators and commercial growers, mapped to NGSS (see the table below) so grow time counts as science instruction.
Bought direct means supported and current. PD, program support, and curriculum updates come from us — resellers ship a static box.
Embedded LED lighting tuned to the ideal spectrum for edible plants
Energy-efficient fan arrays and automated, self-watering system with timers
Trays, seeds, growing media, humidity domes, basins, and pumps — everything to start growing
Microgreens programming plus fruit and vegetable projects
Professional development and ongoing program support
Fits neatly in a classroom, library, or open space. Just add water.
The science standards this lab teaches (sample)
A curriculum-first lab documents cleanly for grants and curriculum review. A sample of what elementary students explore at the rack:
NGSS focus
At the grow rack
K-LS1-1
What plants need to grow — light, water, nutrients
2-LS2-1
Testing how sunlight and water affect plant growth
3-LS1-1
Life cycles, from seed to harvest, on a fast timeline
4-LS1-1
Plant structures and how they help plants survive
Full alignment documentation is included and available for your grant or PO.
Trusted by real districts
We're a Florida-based company that works directly with public school districts and university extension partners — including Wakulla County School District and UF/IFAS Extension — not a catalog that drop-ships a box.
Built for how schools actually buy
Purchase orders welcome — we're a school vendor with W-9 and itemized, grant-ready quotes ready to go.
Automatic bulk pricing — buy 3 or more racks and the price drops automatically, ideal for a grade-level or multi-classroom rollout.
Fundable through STEM, science, and farm-to-school grants, Title I instructional funds, and foundations like KidsGardening and Whole Kids Foundation.
Tell us your grade levels and how many classrooms, and we'll send an itemized quote — with bulk pricing applied — that drops straight into a PO or grant budget. Request your quote →
