Family time through gardening
Here is a great article by PBS - Gardening with Kids: How It Affects Your Child’s Brain, Body and Soul
Through our Tucson Gardening Classes for Kids, Nature to You specializes in ways for families to spend more time outside. "In this electronic age, kids need time for meaningful family connection. Time in the garden allows for team building and promotes communication skills. Planning a garden, planting the seeds and watching them grow give kids a sense of purpose and responsibility. Making sure that the plants get enough fertilizer, water and sun fosters mindfulness. The concepts learned while gardening, like composting food scraps for fertilizer or using gathered rainwater, can show kids a deep respect and responsibility for taking care of our planet."
Your Nature to You teacher includes your kids and builds in breaks, plus you all play games and plan a garden that fits your family's style.
Nature to You empowers adults and kids alike to learn natural features of their home landscape, to imagine improvements to the environment and their use of it, and to do small projects that make a big difference.
