Why Garden?

Gardening has so many benefits! You can discuss many scientific concepts with your kids when planting and tending to a garden. When children participate in gardening, the fruits and vegetables they are inspired to eat will undoubtedly have a positive effect on their bodies. But the act of gardening itself can also promote a healthy body. Furthermore, studies show that when children have contact with soil during activities like digging and planting, they have improved moods, better learning experiences, and decreased anxiety. Most importantly, the self-esteem a child gets from eating a perfect cucumber that he grew himself is priceless.
