Gardening with Kids
Let them get dirty. Kids love to dig in the dirt, water plants, and watch their seeds grow. Give them a little garden space of their own and their own tools. Use the garden as a learning experience and shared quality time with you. They’ll even try vegetables they’ve grown themselves. Kids who spend time in the garden develop a creative and fun lifelong hobby.
Many Societies in Ontario have youth gardening clubs and programs that are fun and educational.
- Youth programming includes connecting with plants, gardening, farming, biology, flowers, floral design, plant related crafts, creative writing or art.
- Youth programming does not include activities such as overnight camps, adventure sports or swimming.
- Meetings take place at scheduled start and end times at a location that is accessible by all participating youth members and their parents.
Get involved! Helping with a kids program is a great volunteer opportunity.
