Outdoor Planter with Root Viewer

The Outdoor Planter with Root Viewer is a fun and interactive way to bring science, sustainability, and gardening into everyday learning. With its built-in acrylic double-door root viewer, children can watch in real time as roots twist, stretch, and grow beneath the soil-offering a rare glimpse into what usually remains hidden. This planter makes growing plants a truly exciting experience as children learn how sunlight, water, and care transform tiny seeds into thriving plants.

Perfect for small groups or a classroom gardening project, the root viewer allows educators to explain the complete plant lifecycle-from seed germination to root development, stem growth, and flowering. This outdoor-friendly resource is ideal for promoting responsibility, teamwork, and hands-on engagement with sustainable practices. Whether planting vegetables, herbs, or flowers, this planter supports year-round exploration as children observe the changes across seasons and appreciate the role nature plays in our food systems and environment.
