Learning To Grow!
Playing in the dirt is a fun for a child of any age and at The Nature of Things we like going home with a little dirt under our fingernails. Gardening with children offers many benefits besides tasty food and beautiful flowers. It teaches patience, resp
onsibility, and accountability. Growing schoolyard gardens also instills a sense of pride and accomplishment. Through gardening, children also learn the importance of taking care of living things and begin to appreciate the value of the physical work that goes into such tasks. Moreover, they realize what fresh picked vegetables look like before they are cleaned, waxed, packaged, shipped, and displayed in a grocery store. Children also learn valuable lessons such as eating healthy, respecting their environment, working cooperatively with others to help their garden grow, hands-on exploration, the wonders of science, and a plant’s life cycle.
