The Importance of Gardening with Children
We think that it is extremely important to teach the children in our care how to respect nature. One of the main ways that we do this is by having a strong gardening program each year. This past year we swapped seeds with the school and used their greenhouse. We start growing seeds in the spring time with the children and when the weather turns nice they help us plant our seedlings into the garden in our play yard. Throughout the summer time the children and volunteers help us weed and tend to the garden and they join us in harvesting our produce as it ripens. We have taught the children an appreciation of preserving our harvest by blanching, freezing and making salsa with them. Then when the cooler fall months arrive the children help us to clear our garden so that they will be ready for the following year. We hope that by doing this the children will grow up and continue to care for their environment and pass on these important traditions.This will be a part of our yearly programming.
