My little garden

A useful planning idea for a school gardening club.

What shall we add?

Choose a plant and a place for it in your garden.

This is a planning example, not growing advice. Changes last until you leave or reset the page.

Your growing plan

3 plants

Tick a plant when you’ve planted it.

The learning behind it

There’s thinking
in every choice.

Turn a purpose into a structure.

Start with the school gardening club: how do members plan what to grow? Ask what information matters, decide what people need to do and build a tool that responds to that need.

Test the details.

What happens when you add a plant twice? Remove one? Finish a task? Thinking through these cases is part of making an idea work.

Take the idea a little further.

Imagine this tool as part of a website for your school gardening club. Ask members what else they need, sketch one feature and explain how you would test it with them.

Their next big idea
could start at school.

Ask about Carret. Open up a world of possibilities.
