- [Everyone Grows: Data Collection](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-data-collection/) - Collecting data in the garden is a great way to practice basic math and science concepts in a practical way, while also learning more about living systems and nature. Data collection demonstrates to children how the scientific method can be used to answer questions and reach conclusions. In this activity, young gardeners are encouraged to be curious and then follow the steps of data collection to discover answers to their questions — just like a true scientist!
- [Everyone Grows: Garden Journaling](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-garden-journaling/) - Garden journaling is an activity focused on spending time in the garden with the specific purpose of recording observations, feelings, thoughts, and pictures, either orally or in written form. Garden journaling is a great way for children to unplug, get some fresh air, and connect with nature and their feelings.
- [Everyone Grows: Harvesting](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-harvesting/) - Harvest is an exciting time for children as they get to pick and enjoy the produce they worked hard to grow in the garden. Children who help grow and harvest produce may even be more excited to eat it compared to what comes from the store. In this activity, children will learn how to harvest and wash food from their garden.
- [Everyone Grows: Hand Watering](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-hand-watering/) - Water is essential for a healthy garden. That said, both too much and too little water can significantly impact plant growth. Teaching young gardeners to recognize when plants need water and to use proper watering techniques is one key to a flourishing garden. Watering by hand is the most basic method for providing supplemental water when rainwater doesn’t suffice. In this activity, children will learn to tell when plants need water and how to water them by hand.
- [Everyone Grows: Mulching](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-mulching/) - Mulching garden beds protects the underlying soil from erosion, conserves moisture, and deters weed growth. Common mulching materials include bark, shredded wood, and straw. This mulching activity offers opportunities to teach children about the importance of conserving water and caring for the soil and their plants. It’s also an active, fun opportunity to help beautify and tend the garden.
- [Everyone Grows: Introduction](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-introduction/) - Learn more about KidsGardening's newest guide - Everyone Grows: Adaptive Strategies for Inclusive Youth Gardening.
- [Everyone Grows: An Occupational Therapist's Top Ten Tips](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-top-ten-tips/) - Learn an Occupational Therapist's top ten teaching tips for gardening with children.
- [Everyone Grows: Planting Seedlings](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-planting-seedlings/) - If seeds are too small to handle or too slow to grow for your young gardeners, you may want to jumpstart your garden by planting small plants called seedlings (also called transplants). You can purchase these seedlings at garden centers, or you can start your own by sowing seeds in small pots or trays. The seedlings are then transplanted (moved) into larger containers or garden beds to grow to maturity.
- [Everyone Grows: Indoor Seed Planting](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-indoor-seed-planting/) - Indoor seed planting is one of the most common activities for any garden program, offering students the chance to observe the wonderful transformation of a small seed into a growing plant. Not only is it an excellent learning activity for young gardeners, but it also gives them the opportunity to master foundational skills. In this activity, children will sow seeds in small pots, observe them for signs of growth, and care for the germinating seeds and young seedlings.
- [Everyone Grows: Plant Propagation](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-plant-propagation/) - Plants have the unique ability to regenerate whole new plants from their parts, such as from a piece of root, stem, or leaf. Practicing plant propagation by making new plants from existing plants can feel like magic to young gardeners, and it also teaches them a lot about plant growth and development. In this activity, they’ll take cuttings (pieces of stem), place them in water and a soil mix, and observe them over several weeks to watch for root development.
- [Everyone Grows: Planting Container Gardens](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-planting-container-gardens/) - Planting container gardens is a great way to add plants to challenging spaces and to start your gardening adventures on a smaller scale. Container gardens offer a lot of flexibility, too, so you can adapt your garden program to meet the diverse needs of your young gardeners. In this activity, children will decorate a container and then plant seeds or seedlings.
- [Everyone Grows: Planting Seeds Outside](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-planting-seeds-outside/) - Some plants grow best when sown directly into the garden as seeds. Examples include beans and peas, root crops like carrots and radishes, leafy greens like lettuce, and many vining crops like cucumbers and squash. In this activity, young gardeners will finish preparing seed beds, sow seeds in furrows, and care for young seedlings.
- [Everyone Grows: Weeding](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/everyone-grows-weeding/) - A weed is simply a plant that is growing where you do not want it to grow. “Weeds” can actually be beneficial, for instance, when their deep roots prevent soil erosion or their flowers provide nectar to hungry pollinators. That said, they can also negatively impact your garden by competing with your cultivated plants for sunlight, water, and nutrients. In this activity, children will discover the importance of learning to identify weeds and practice removing them to create a healthy, flourishing garden.
- [Kitty Fairy Flower Crowns](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-kitty-fairy-flower-crowns/) - In celebration of the Gabby’s Dollhouse Fairylandia Tour, KidsGardening has teamed up with DreamWorks Animation to create a printable Kitty Fairy flower crown that kids can color in and wear on their garden adventures!
- [Raised Beds 101](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/designing-a-school-garden-raised-beds-101-2/) - Structured raised bed gardens help school gardening programs thrive. Although they increase the initial investment of time and money, raised bed gardens are generally easier to maintain and allow young gardeners to spend more time learning in the garden, rather than struggling with challenges like difficult soil conditions and weeds.

- [Building a Terrarium](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-building-a-terrarium/) - A terrarium is a miniature garden grown inside a covered glass or plastic container. It is a low maintenance way to incorporate plants into your classroom or home and an excellent tool for teaching children about the water cycle as it demonstrates evaporation, condensation and precipitation. In the presence of light and heat, water evaporates from the plants through transpiration and from the soil. Since it is an enclosed environment, when the water vapor hits the side of the container, it condenses. Once enough water accumulates or the temperature decreases, the condensation will then precipitate down the sides of the container back into the soil.

- [Borage and Other Compost Plants](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/growing-guide-borage-compost-plants/) - If you're sold on the benefits of compost but are lacking in materials to add to your bin, consider growing a compost garden. As odd as it may sound, the idea of growing plants specifically to add to compost pile has been around a long time. It's a favorite technique used by advocates of permaculture (“permanent agriculture”), who know that healthy soil is the foundation for healthy, long-lived, and productive plants.
- [Succulents](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/growing-guide-succulents/) - The word succulent isn’t a true scientific classification; rather, it’s a word used to group plants that have fleshy leaves and stems. Familiar succulents include cacti, aloe, and jade plant.
- [Hooked on Hummingbirds](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-hooked-on-hummingbirds/) - Introduce your young gardeners to these magnificent creatures and discover ways to attract hummingbirds to your garden.
- [Make a Lasagna Garden](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-make-a-lasagna-garden/) - Build a no-dig raised-bed garden that protects the soil ecosystem and gets kids excited about gardening. Using the “lasagna garden” technique, you layer mulch, kitchen scraps, compost, and other organic matter. There's no need to till because the sod will break down naturally, improving the soil. If you make the bed in fall, it will be ready to plant in spring. If you make it in spring, it will be ready to plant in mid-summer.
- [Grow Baby Succulents](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-grow-baby-succulents/) - What could be more exciting than turning one plant into 10 new ones for each of your friends? Some succulents, such as rosette-forming echeveria and ghost plant (graptopetalum), are particularly easy to propagate. The leaves readily grow new roots (and thus new plants) when removed and placed in the right conditions. You can use this method to create fun and inexpensive gifts.
- [Exploring Food Forests](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-exploring-food-forests/) - Another way to grow edible plants, a food forest strives to mimic the relationships found in natural forest ecosystems to sustainably grow fruit- and nut-bearing trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals that provide a food source for humans and wildlife.
- [Learn About Landfills](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-learn-about-landfills/) - Students will learn about landfills by creating mini "landfills" in milk or juice cartons and investigate what happens to common household waste when buried under soil and plants.
- [Plant-Inspired Products](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-plant-inspired-products/) - Not only do plants provide products and raw materials for us to use, they have also served as inspiration for many inventions. In this lesson, we will explore some plants that inspired the creation of common household items.
- [Love for the Bugs!](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-love-for-bugs/) - Insects of all shapes and sizes are important residents in the garden. Although a few of them are pests, most play a role in helping our plants thrive. In this lesson, students will take a closer look at insect life in the garden and learn how to identify those that are giving us a helping hand as we grow.
- [Compost Your Way](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-compost-your-way/) - Composting food waste not only helps support the nutrient cycle by producing a valuable amendment for garden soil, it is also important for efforts to decrease materials going to landfills. In this lesson, students will explore different ways to compost food scraps by researching and/or experimenting with different types of compost systems.
- [Fungus Among Us](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-fungus-among-us/) - Often overlooked and under-appreciated, fungi are an important part of our environment. In this lesson, students will take a closer look at this vital garden resident.
- [Thanks a Bunch!](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-thank-you-to-food-workers/) - Thanks a bunch for my lunch! From field to table, we rely on so many different people to grow and prepare the food we eat each day. Help young gardeners better understand our food system by encouraging them to brainstorm ways to express their thanks to these very special and essential people in our lives.
- [A Year in the Garden](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-year-in-garden-journal/) - Documenting life in your garden or a nearby greenspace each month for a year is a fun way to explore seasonal changes while also connecting young gardeners to their local ecosystem.

Refrigerator pickles are a tasty, nutritious treat and fun gift for family and friends! Best of all, they don't require canning and will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- [Earth Day Fun](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-earth-day-fun/) - Every day should be Earth Day! How can we expect the next generation to care for our environment if they have little interaction with the natural world we are asking them to protect? These activities highlight some garden-related fun that helps kids get motivated to protect our planet.
- [Earth Day Wildflower Seed Paper](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-earth-day-seed-paper/) - This handmade, Earth-inspired paper is made with recycled paper and embedded with wildflower seeds — a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Earth Day and a beautiful gift for family and friends.
- [Fun with Fungi](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-fun-with-fungi/) - Often overlooked in the garden ecosystem, fungi play a critical role in the decomposition and nutrient cycles that help your plants grow. This activity offers ideas for introducing young gardeners to the "fun guys” (AKA fungi).
- [Design a Healing Garden](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/garden-activities-design-a-healing-garden/) - A garden can be a place to relax, alleviate stress, restore your spirit and find peace. Although just being in nature and surrounded by green space can positively contribute to mental and physical health without any specific planning, intentionally designing your garden space with this purpose in mind can provide even more benefits. In this activity, young gardeners will brainstorm ways to create their own healing garden.
- [Self-Expression in the Garden](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-self-expression-in-the-garden/) - A garden can offer opportunities for youth to express their feelings, thoughts, and ideas. Engaging in activities that allow self-expression in garden spaces can provide a boost to mental and emotional health while connecting youth to the garden and to each other.
- [Farm to School:  A Win-Win-Win Model](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/digging-deeper-farm-to-school/) - We all love "win-win" situations. The rollout of farm to school initiatives over the last 25 years has proven to be even better. It's a "win-win-win" for all involved: kids, farms, communities. Farm to school started in the mid 1990s as a grassroots movement to address the low nutritional value of foods being served in schools. The idea was simple — and transformational: Improve kids’ eating habits by encouraging school food services to purchase healthful, locally grown foods.
- [A Multitude of Gratitude](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-gratitude-for-food/) - [et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.22″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Objective Students will research ways people in the past and present demonstrate appreciation for their food.

- [Starting Seeds for Hydroponics](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/digging-deeper-starting-seeds-for-hydroponics/) - Although purchasing seedlings for your hydroponics set-up is an option, many growers prefer to start their own plants from seeds. There are lots of practical reasons — and it’s fun, too!
- [Earth-Friendly Gift Wrapping](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/gardening-basics-to-earth-friendly-gift-wrapping/) - With a few simple (and fun!) changes to our gift-wrapping habits, we can all reduce the amount of waste we generate without giving up our cherished traditions.
- [Amazing Adaptations of Succulents](https://kidsgardening.org/resources/lesson-plan-amazing-adaptations-succulents/) - From aloes to echeverias to cacti, the popularity of succulent plants for indoor gardens is on the rise.
