About us
Real plants, real science, real people behind every kit
Aardvark's Horticulture Adventure is a small, family-run business making hands-on plant science kits for homeschool families, ESA families and classrooms. Each kit comes with a printable curriculum your kids can actually follow.
Why parents trust our kits
Cuttings from our own trees
Our fruit tree cutting kits use cuttings we harvest from our own trees, and we tested the rooting process ourselves before offering it to your kids.
See cutting kits →A real curriculum, not a leaflet
Every kit comes with a designed curriculum PDF: lessons and worksheets by grade band, linked to NGSS science standards, emailed after purchase with a QR code.
Look inside a curriculum →Approved by your program
We're an approved vendor for Arizona ESA (ClassWallet), West Virginia Hope Scholarship, and Utah Fits All, Texas TEFA and Wyoming ESA (Odyssey).
How to pay with program funds →Kid-safe by design
Our cutting kits use cinnamon, a kitchen-cupboard rooting aid, instead of chemical rooting hormone, so kids can handle every step.
Packed by a person
We pack and ship our kits ourselves by USPS. Larger orders may arrive in more than one package.
