Intermediate projects can typically be completed with 1-3 tools. Assembly can be completed in 45 minutes. We recommend this project for students ages 10+.
Objective: Construct a planter box and learn how to plant a seed
Students will use basic carpentry skills to build a small planter box. Students will have an opportunity to get creative and decorate their planter box, making them a perfect gift or household decoration.
Instructors then have an opportunity to reinforce learnings by prompting questions such as:

How might you build a larger planter box?
How will you care for your seed?
