Though gardening doesn't spring to mind during these cold dark days of winter, a table top garden is something that keeps me going until I can get back out there.
In order to keep up interest in gardening in the classroom, consider :
1/Forcing bulbs - many of our local nurseries have narcissus (paperwhites) and amaryllis bulbs at half price.

2/Forcing blooms from budding branches ie forsythia

3/Growing sprouts for a delicious, nutritious snack. See link for an inexpensive device and seed.

And it's always fun to start pouring over seed catalogues!
