TO TEACH, INSPIRE, AND POLLINATE JOY
COIVD-19 has forced many to take risks daily in their everyday activities. Going to the grocery store is one risk that many must take to sustain. Growing your own food can provide one less risk to take. In addition, planting and growing in the “backyard” is healthier both mentally and physically providing the freshest options available.
OUR GARDENS HELP OUR CHILDREN BLOSSOM INTO HEALTHY AND PROACTIVE ADULTS
GROW AND FOSTER A SENSE OF CONFIDENCE
Cultivating confidence is crucial to a child’s healthy development. The process of tending a plant and seeing it bloom or produce food takes time and patience, but the payoff in satisfaction is equal to the investment.
BUILD A HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE
It makes some intuitive sense. Digging, weeding, planting and harvesting are all physical activities that release endorphins and help keep you fit. So grab a shovel with your child and watch the health of your whole family blossom!
GARDENING HAS THERAPEUTIC EFFECTS
Studies have proven that gardening and stress relief go hand in hand and has measurable therapeutic effects on both children and adults.
A little fresh air and sunlight can do wonders. A study that appeared in the Journal of Public Health found that working in a garden for just 30 minutes increased self-esteem and mood.
