The Garden!

The children have shown great care and responsibility for the centre's vegetable garden.  Because of their care, attention and love, the plants have thrived and we now have an abundance of lettuce, mint, rosemary, and spring onions that the children have been enjoying in their lunch time meals.   

 Gardening has the opportunity for children to take responsibility for the environment.  Through their care and attention the children have discovered the positive outcome of caring for their environment.  

The Garden has also created the potential for a wide range of hands on experiences for the children; including watering, fertilizing, worm farming, harvesting and cooking.  Gardening has been a great way to approach sustainability education, and has created a strong opening to take this education further.  

 Do any families grow their own vegetables at home? we would really appreciate some photo's of home gardens and families gardening experiences. 

This is our dream garden! A Goal for the year to come.
