Gardening is a great way to get children to connect with nature and learn more about fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy eating. But that’s not all. These gardens also offer children the opportunity to experience hands-on lessons in science, math and language arts. Spring is the perfect time to start thinking about cultivating one of these living libraries, whether it’s a small herb garden on a windowsill, a community garden, or a larger garden at your child’s school. Gardens can promote your child’s learning, healthy eating habits, and appreciation for nature.
