Introducing:

Learning Through Gardening At Home

Garden activities and experiments for children and their parents 

Spring is the perfect time to introduce children to the wonders of gardening!  Since schools are closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Learning Through Gardening has collected activities and hands-on experiments that are easy for parents to do with their children at home.  Many will take children outside to explore nature and growing plants.

We will be adding more lessons throughout the shutdown, so check this page frequently or follow Learning Through Gardening on Facebook for updates. 

​Parents and Teachers: If you have any questions about these lessons and activities or about gardening with your children, please email us at learningthroughgardening@gmail.com.
