This is a great time of year to get outdoors!  Children are naturally drawn to nature and there are so many learning opportunities in the garden.

"Why try to explain miracles to your kids when you just plant a garden." - Robert Brault

Whether you are growing a full vegetable or flower garden or just starting out, whether you are homeschooling or wanting to add to your children's experiences and knowledge, the benefits are undeniable and extend to health, wellness, mental clarity, family bonding, creating memories, education, and so much more!
