Gardens are where children’s imaginations engage nature, and the result is joyful learning and fostering a mentally and physically healthy child. Gardening helps children develop an appreciation for the natural world and build the foundation for environmental stewardship. Gardens need not be large scale and high intensity to engage curious minds. This presentation will discuss gardening with children and garden design from the perspective of two early childhood educators and a landscape architect based on their experiences which led to two editions of “Gardening with Young Children”. Get an insight of how gardens are used as part of curriculum, play and exploration and how to facilitate a garden design that will serve the goals of your client while keeping maintenance in mind.
We have rewarding opportunities to help connect young people with plants through the landscape industry. We are all big kids in gardens – share the joy.
