Kids Garden Month Contest
How does your garden take care of you?
Congratulations to our 2022 Kids Garden Month grand prize winners!
Kids Garden Month
How does your garden take care of you?
Kids Garden Month is our annual celebration of kids in the garden! Each April, we celebrate kid gardeners, as well as lifting up the many positive benefits gardening has on kids themselves.
This year, our Kids Garden Month contest asks kids to tell us how their garden takes cares of them. Parents, caregivers, and educators: encourage the kids you garden with to think about the ways gardening creates opportunities for community connection, time with friends or family, a place to relax or be inspired, provides food, or makes their world a more beautiful place!
About the Kids Garden Month Contest
Kids, we want to hear from you! Share how your garden takes care of you with a picture, video, song, dance, poem, art, craft, or anything else you can think of!
Creativity is encouraged! Kids ages 0-18 are eligible to participate. Entries are welcome from around the world, but only entries from the US and US territories are eligible to win prizes. Due to shipping restrictions, certain prizes may be restricted to the lower 48 states.
