School Raised Garden Bed Kit with Full Year NGSS Curriculum

Turn any 10’x10’ space — even bare pavement — into a living outdoor classroom. The Farming The Future School Raised Garden Bed Kit is a complete, all-in-one school garden program: the beds, the irrigation, the growing supplies, and a full year of NGSS-aligned science curriculum for every grade, K–12. Everything a teacher needs to grow food and teach standards from day one, with nothing extra to source.

It works as a standalone garden or as an addition to an existing school garden, and it’s built to succeed regardless of your underlying soil — no in-ground digging, no soil testing, no guesswork.

What’s included

• Caterpillar-style raised garden beds sized for a 10’x10’ footprint
• Rainwater irrigation system with rain barrel — low-maintenance watering built for a school schedule
• All growing supplies: plants, soil, mulch, seed-starting kits, outdoor thermometer, and every material needed for one complete garden — no additional purchases required
• 32-week NGSS curriculum integrating Next Generation Science Standards for every grade level, K–12
• Instructional videos covering setup, planting, and season-long maintenance for continuous harvests
• Digital lesson plans accessible from a phone or tablet in the garden or classroom — vocabulary, scripted lessons, worksheets, interactive videos, and graphics
• 1 year of online curriculum access through the FTF learning platform
• A one-on-one onboarding session scheduled around your calendar

Built for how schools actually teach

The curriculum isn’t an afterthought bolted onto a garden — it’s the reason the garden earns its place in the school day. Every lesson ties hands-on growing to NGSS science standards, so time in the garden counts as instruction, not enrichment you have to justify. Harvests open the door to garden-to-cafeteria programs, nutrition lessons, and real-world project-based learning across science, math, and beyond.

Who it’s for

Public, private, and charter schools; districts; higher-ed and early-learning programs; and organizations like the YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs. The program scales from a single classroom to a whole-school garden, and the K–12 curriculum means one kit serves every grade band in the building.

Purchase orders & grant funding

We’re set up for how schools actually buy. We accept purchase orders from schools, districts, and institutions, and we provide the documentation your grant application needs — itemized quotes, W9s, and budget line-items. Most of our schools fund this program through grants like USDA Farm to School and foundation garden grants.
