Our Impact
We create opportunities for kids to play, learn, and grow through gardening, engaging their natural curiosity and wonder.
Happier, Healthier Kids
Gardening engages every child’s innate wonder and care for the natural world, offers them opportunities to participate in hands-on learning, and teaches them where their food comes from. Young people who participate in gardening programs enjoy dramatic, documented gains across a diverse range of critical growth areas including personal well-being, food security, nutritional awareness and attitudes, environmental stewardship, and community connectedness.
At KidsGardening, we want every child to experience the unique transformation that occurs when they spend time caring for a garden, be it outside, in a classroom, or in a cup on the kitchen windowsill. Since 2016, KidsGardening has served as a premier support provider for youth garden programs nationwide. KidsGardening’s resources reach millions of young people annually, helping them engage their natural curiosity and acquire new learning through hands-on gardening experiences.
