Nutrition and gardening doesn't need to be labor intensive.Getting children involved in their meal, from seed to table helps them create meaningful relationships with their food.The simple act of being involved, hands on activities and in the moment learning help children stay interested in gardening. There are so many ways that foster independence and exploration with having a garden, no matter how big or small. From planter box to field.
