1. A method for growing plants using a modular grow box having a first modular element and a second modular element, the method comprising:
assembling the modular grow box in a first configuration for a first growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow box in the first configuration includes:
placing a growth material with one or more seeds on a first surface of the second modular element, and
placing the first modular element over the second modular element, wherein the first modular element includes a plate and one or more walls extending from an outer perimeter of the plate, and wherein placing the first modular element over the second modular element includes placing the plate above the first surface to shelter the growth material and the one or more seeds from an environment external to the modular grow box; and

after the first growth phase, assembling the modular grow box in a second configuration for a second growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow box in the second configuration includes:
placing the first modular element under the second modular element, and
placing the growth material on a second surface of the second modular element that is opposite the first surface,
wherein, in the second configuration, the first modular element is configured to retain water and the growth material is exposed to the environment external to the modular grow box.
