A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness and reminds us all that all things take time.
Responsibility
Gardening is a great way to teach kids about responsibility. They learn that they have to take care of their plants each day in order for them to become healthy.
Nutrition
Gardening provides students with a real-time look at how things grow. Understanding nature supports health and wellness & encourages kids to choose nutritious foods.
patience
Kids are used to immediate gratification and because gardening is often a slow process kids learn to be patient when waiting for their plants to grow.
