Grow a Garden: Building a Business

Success Zone / Sienna Crossing -
2026 Spring

In this course, students will discover how businesses work by planting, investing, and earning in the game Grow a Garden, making big ideas easy to understand. Through gameplay, students experience concepts like profit, reinvestment, supply and demand, and diversification in action. Each week ties gameplay back to real-life entrepreneurship, teaching students how business lessons apply outside the game.
