In action!The beauty of the Children's Learning Garden rests not only in its luscious, green glory, but also in its ability to bring children together to learn about the land, farming, and food production.
Getting through the drought
Garden work, including seeding, transplanting, weeding, watering, and harvesting, helps kids develop an understanding of the plant world and its importance to humans, animals, and ecosystems all over our planet.
Collecting basil
By taking part in all aspects of the plant life cycle, the children gain a stronger appreciation for their food and the life-giving nutrients it provides us.
Food's more fun when you grow it yourself!
In the Learning Garden, we try to grow a variety of interesting fruits and vegetables like the ones that you 'll see highlighted in our blog, as well as a number of staples that kids (and adults!) love to eat. If you or your child have any suggestions for next year's crops, feel free to email your ideas to us at wfcfblog@gmail.com.
