Gardening is a healthy, fun activity for children. Children develop new skills and learn about science and nature from growing their own food. There is a variety of interesting activities children can be involved in, such as planting, mulching, weeding and cooking. Your generous donation to our project will help us get raised garden kits, a Root Vue farm set, a Sprout and Grow window and other supplies we need to create a garden of our own. There is a myriad of scientific concepts we can discuss with our preschoolers when planting and tending to a garden. One study showed that children who participated in gardening projects scored higher in science achievement than those who did not. The wonder of seeing a garden grow will spark our kids to ask questions like: Why do the plants need sun? How does the plant “drink” water? Why are worms good for the plants? Add a little math while gardening by measuring how much plants are growing from week to week or counting the flowers on each plant. We will also be able to supplement the experience of gardening with books about plants or a photo journal of the plants that we are growing.
