Gardening is a hands on experience for most kids. But reading
and learning about the garden doesn’t end with that experience.
Knowing some garden terms is also important.
Gardens grow. Then they die. But they spring up again with cultivation and care.
Some garden plants need replanting. Some gardens need more maintenance than
others.
A great thing to do with the kids is show them how the root systems
are on plants. It will give them a better handle on how it looks like in
the soil below the part of the plant we see. You can make a root view
box.
It’s
back to school time and the kiddies are learning again. What do
they learn in science class this week? It’s all about plants.
They’ve been doing that all season. But a project has to be
chosen.
The
water cycle. A cycle by which water rises and falls, flows and goes. There
are many important aspects of the water cycle and these aspects can affect our
daily lives including our gardens. Here are six things kids should know about
the water cycle.
The
life cycle of plants can tell us a lot about whether plants will
continuously grow or not.
Seeds
are an important part in the kid’s gardens. Have your kids ever wondered
what’s inside those little things called seeds?
In the article “Inside a Seed, There
is Food”, seed starting was briefly mentioned. Starting seeds and
plants indoors is a good idea especially for the kid’s garden. It starts
the season and the kids can get a good grasp on germination and plant
needs.
