Smithsonian's 'Seeds of Change Garden'

When Columbus sailed to the New World, he was looking for gold and riches. What he brought back would turn out to be more valuable than any amount of gold: new food crops that would come to feed the world.

This is a web site for teachers and parents who wish to explore the effects of the Columbian Exchange by planting a unique garden. Through planting a garden with Old World, New World, and 'Exchange' plants, and through other activities, children will learn about the diversity, agriculture, commerce, and history of our world.
