Edible Gardens

This activity is designed to encourage children to participate in growing their own food, develop an understanding of where their food comes from, how much time it takes for food to grow, what is needed to grow food, what they can make with the food that they grow. Younger children will explore the garden and produce using all of their senses, while older children will create a special place using edible plants and be involved in the full process of growing food from seed to table.

Activity Intention:

• This activity is designed to help connect children to the wonders of the natural world through sensory and play-based learning.
