My daughter loves to “feed the worms”. I dont think she yet understands why, but I am sure we will get there.

Great post! I also teach children about gardening. When I teach composting I do an edible compost lesson to simulate all the browns and greens that should go into the compost. Kids love to eat it and it is just another visual that sticks in their brains and helps them remember. I am going to check out your book!

Great post. My children are each growing their own in raised beds this year. They’ve always helped me in the garden, but this year they chose what they wanted to grow and will be responsible for helping to maintain their beds. I’m excited to see how it turns out.

guess you havent done the drawing yet….i would LOVE this book. I already garden with my kids, mostly because I want them to know where their food comes from and to be able to produce some of their own food. Liked you on facebook as well Would love to review the book after I win lol.

I love gardening with my daughter because I get to teach her where our food comes from and how amazing it is that we can grow it! She loves to water the plants, play in the dirt and hold worms. We also get to prepare meals together with our bounty.

How fun! I remember gardening as a kid and playing outdoor a lot, and I really think that was the seed for the gardener and nature-lover I am today. My kids have their own little plot, and they have so much fun! They get to see how seeds grow into plants, and they get to pick the strawberries from the plants they tended. Gardening is full of lessons for kids, and teaches them in a fun way!
