Teamwork that takes root!

Dig into something meaningful with Productive Planters, an impactful team experience rooted in community and collaboration!

Sow the seeds of teamwork through shared purpose and playful learning in this hands-on team building garden activity. Sprout into action with the Companion Planting Challenge, an engaging game that demonstrates which plants thrive best in the same garden bed.

With tools in hand and teamwork in bloom, you’ll roll up your sleeves to build raised garden beds from the ground up. Once the beds are built, it’s time for creativity to blossom! Teams personalize their planters with artwork, custom designs, and messages that reflect your company’s values and team spirit.

With their new gardening know-how, teams then select seed pairings designed to support healthy, sustainable growth. These beautifully built and decorated planters, along with the seeds, are donated to local schools, food banks, or community gardens—supporting wellness, education, and food security.

Whether your group is full of seasoned green thumbs or gardening newbies, Productive Planters is the perfect garden activity for teams who want to grow closer while giving back—all in full bloom.
