Welcome to the Children’s Gardening Co., a cooperative that aims to inspire the next generation of gardeners and farmers. We believe that gardening is a fun and educational way for children to connect with nature, learn about where their food comes from, and develop important life skills.
Although we are just starting out, our website will be a hub of resources for parents, teachers, and anyone interested in gardening. We plan to offer a wide range of educational materials, including lesson plans, activities, and guides to help understand the science behind gardening and farming.
At the heart of our cooperative is a passion for inspiring families and empowering them to learn and grow along side the plants in their gardens.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, we invite you to explore our website and join our community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about teaching children the joys of gardening.
