The mission of Sprout House is to provide a home-like setting in which happy and inquisitive children develop positive and eager attitudes toward school. We foster a global consciousness that embraces environmental beauty and sustainability.
At the same time, we cultivate an awareness that all children deserve participation in societies where people can sustain themselves and live healthful, stimulating and fulfilling lives.

Sprout of the day: Pink turtlehead (Chelone lyonii). You can see how this native got its name
Sprout of the day: False foxglove or Gerardia (Agalinis purpurea). This is such an interesting native...it is partially parasitic...it attaches to the roots of other plants but performs photosynthesis...
Sprout of the day: Poison ivy in autumn. (Toxicodendron radicans). Important and nutritious (berries) for many birds...not so good for humans . It is an “edge” species...grows at the edge of the forest in dappled sunlight. There is a benefit to humans however. It stabilizes sand dunes, preventing serious erosion.
Science mystery of the day: How could a huge puddle 300 feet from the river have so many fish in it?
