Gardening with Children
How to encourage little Hands to plant and grow using the easiest seeds and the best Method.
Children curious, like to learn by doing, and love to play in the dirt. Working in a garden, a child can experience the satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time, while observing the cycle of life firsthand.
Gardening gives children a chance to learn an important life skill, one that is overlooked in standard school curriculums. Gardening is also a great way to teach environmental awareness by exploring the workings of nature.
Whether you use Pots ,raised beds, containers, or ground plots, be sure to give each child his or her own planning . Keep it small, very small for young kids. Put their plots right in the middle of the action, with the best Coco peat Dis, soil and sun light. This will help set them up for success.
Depending on the age of the child, you may need to guide out a little ‘behind the scenes’. But They don’t have to know about all the guidance help you offer: the child’s ‘ownership’ of the planning is the main thing.
Engage them through the entire process
Children learn better when they understand the context of their activity. They will learn that gardening can be fun, but far more than idle play; they are contributing to the family well-being. Besides planting and nurturing their garden beds, be sure they alone do the harvesting and preparation of their crop for the table, no matter how modest the offering.
The children will learn more by seeing the growing process as it begins, from seed. The care given to sprouting seeds and nurturing the young seedling are a valuable part of the gardening experience.
