Get ready to roll up your sleeves and dig in! Let’s Get Gardening! is a fun, interactive training designed specifically for childcare professionals who want to bring the joy and learning of gardening into their classrooms and programs.
This hands-on session will explore the art of transplanting plants, creative and imaginative planting techniques — including the whimsical snap pea teepee — and practical, engaging ways to involve children at every step of the gardening process. Gardening is a powerful tool for early childhood learning, supporting development in science, math, sensory exploration, and cooperative play.
You will leave this training with a collection of practical, ready-to-use ideas that make gardening a truly hands-on, hands-in-the-dirt learning experience for children of all ages. Whether you have a large outdoor space or a small classroom corner, these techniques can be adapted to fit your unique setting.
Come prepared to get a little messy — and have a lot of fun
