The Eden Institute Biblical Herbalism Education

Eden's Table · Sprouts K-2 and Seedlings 3-5

The whole year, printed, in your hands in about two to three weeks.

The Teacher's Guide, the Student Notebook and the Read-Aloud storybook for all 36 weeks, printed to order and mailed to your door. $249 plus $12 shipping, for either year.

Not sure which one? Most families start with Sprouts. Here is why.

Printed for you, not stacked in a warehouse.

Your set is printed after you order it, one set at a time, and mailed straight to your address. There is no warehouse, no minimum order I had to hit first, and nothing to be back-ordered on.

That is deliberate. I am building this without borrowing, so I would rather print your copy when you ask for it than gamble on a room full of boxes. It costs a little time at your end, about two to three weeks, and it means your year is never waiting on my cash flow.

Not sure yet? Week 1 is free for both years, and the first nine weeks are $39 as a download: Sprouts or Seedlings.

The Teacher's Guide

240 pages, letter size, coil bound

Every day of all 36 weeks, written out. What to read, what to say, what to put on the table, and which subjects that week's plant is carrying. It lies flat while you teach, because you will have a child on your lap and a mug in your other hand.

The Student Notebook

224 pages, letter size, coil bound

Her pages. She draws the plant she just held, writes what it smelled like, copies the verse, and answers a question in her own handwriting every week. By May it is a full year of her work, dated and in order, which is also your record keeping done.

The Read-Aloud Storybook

112 pages, small paperback

The seven stories that run through the year, sized for a lap. This is the one you read on the couch, with a child under each arm.

The herbs are not included. Each week uses a small amount of a common dried herb from your pantry, your garden, or the herb list we keep for you.

Component 1 · Read-Aloud Storybook

A family story carries the whole year.

All 36 weeks of this, printed and coil bound, in the set.

Inside the storybook

Sprouts K-2 and Seedlings 3-5

The same family, carried across both bands. A simple parable at K-2 becomes a story of real choices at 3-5.

Before there is a lesson about a plant, there is a family. Vovó in the garden. PopPop with his hands in the dirt. A scraped knee, a jar on a windowsill, a grandmother who knows which flower to reach for. The botany, the scripture, and the kitchen lab all hang on that narrative hook, which is why a child who cannot yet define a term can still tell you exactly why Vovó chose the plant she chose. This is the piece that makes the curriculum stick, and it is the piece most curricula skip. Facts taught cold are facts forgotten by Friday.

“It is the least academic-looking thing in the set, and it is doing the most important work in it.”

Component 2 · Teacher's Guide

You do not need to know herbalism to teach this.

All 36 weeks of this, printed and coil bound, in the set.

Inside the guide

Sprouts K-2 and Seedlings 3-5

Every lesson is written at two depths, so a younger and an older child work the same week at one table.

Open the guide on Monday morning and the week is already built. The read-aloud is scripted, the discussion questions are written, the memory verse is chosen, and the kitchen lab tells you exactly which supplies to set on the counter. Nothing is left for you to research the night before. What makes this guide unusual is how much it carries at once: a single week on a single plant quietly weaves Bible, science, language arts, math, art, history, geography, Latin, health, and character, and the Week at a Glance page tells you which day carries which. You are not stacking ten subjects into a day. You are teaching one plant well, and the disciplines come with it.

“It lies flat on the counter while your hands are busy, open to Wednesday, while the herb steeps.”

Component 3 · Student Notebook

The book your child fills in herself.

All 36 weeks of this, printed and coil bound, in the set.

Inside the notebook

Sprouts K-2 and Seedlings 3-5

Color, smell, taste and texture at K-2 become measurements, ratios, and a hypothesis at 3-5.

It is a consumable workbook, but calling it that undersells what happens on the page. She draws the plant she just held. She records what it smelled like. She answers, in her own handwriting, a question that has no answer key, because some of the best questions in this curriculum genuinely do not have one. The enrichment work is deliberately marked optional, complete it if you have time, because a curriculum that punishes a hard week is a curriculum abandoned in February. This is also the practical answer to the record-keeping question: dated, sequential, in your child's own hand, showing observation, narration, scripture copywork, and real measurement across thirty-six weeks.

“It satisfies a reviewer. Far more importantly, it is the thing she carries to her grandfather and says look what I made.”

Why we steer new families to Sprouts, even with older children

  • Different plants, not a harder version. Sprouts teaches 36 plants and Seedlings teaches another 36. Skip Sprouts and those first 36 are missing from your child's 72.
  • The senses are the skill. Crushing the leaf, smelling it, feeling the underside. That is how a child learns to really know a plant, at any age.
  • One year, taught once, to everyone. The youngest can join in, and an older child simply goes further and moves faster.

Questions I get asked

Is this the whole curriculum, or a sample of it?

The whole thing. All 36 weeks, 180 daily lessons, every plant, every story, every lab. Nothing in the year is held back for a later purchase.

Can I buy just one of the three?

No. They are written to be used together, one plant a week, and one without the others would leave you stuck by Wednesday. The one exception is the Student Notebook: it is the write-in book, so you can add extra copies for siblings at checkout, $39.99 each for the first five and $32 each from the sixth (up to 100 in one order, for co-ops), printed and shipped with your set. Shipping for larger orders is calculated in your cart before you pay.

How is it printed, and how long does it take?

Each set is printed for you when you order, by our print partner, and mailed straight to your address. Printing starts 48 hours after you order. That pause is on purpose: it is your window to fix a typo in your address or change your mind for a full refund. After that it prints, and you get a tracking email the day it ships. Plan on about two to three weeks from order to your door.

Can I return it?

Once printing has started, no, because it was printed for you and nobody else. Before that, yes, for a full refund, just reply to your confirmation email. If a book arrives bent, misprinted or damaged, send me a photo within 14 days and I will replace it at no cost to you.

Is this a good place to start, or should I try the $39 Starter Unit first?

If you are still deciding whether this is how your family wants to learn, start with the nine-week Starter Unit. It is a download and it is $39, so finding out costs you very little. If you have already decided and you want the whole year on paper, this is the page.
