It's important to teach kids how to 'know the earth', this earth is their future. We can all help show them how to make the earth a better planet to live on - by going green, recycling and being earth friendly!
GARDENING -
Gardening with kids at an early age encourages their interest in nature and gives them enthusiasm early in life. Children love all things natural.... whether it be playing in the dirt, planting a seed and watching it grow, digging up 'buried treasures' in the form of carrots and potatoes, or watching a caterpillar turn into a butterfly.
Whether you make a little 'kiddy-sized' garden in your big plot, or maybe you only have room for a big pot or two, this is an exciting adventure for a child. What a better way for a child to learn how to grow what they eat and to learn how healthy it is for them -- that they can grow specialty gardens that attract butterflies and birds -- how they can grow a gourd and craft it into a birdhouse -- and watch their pumpkin grow big for carving, and how they can roast and eat the seeds from it!
Gardening is fun, and a non-stop adventure for a child. Let us help you get started!
