Gardening with Children

Gardening with Children is a resource/teaching aid that will assist in motivating children in the art of gardening. This document may be downloaded and printed as required for your group, provided such distribution is not for profit.

When working with children, or anyone for that matter, correct identification of plants is very important. Children must be taught that some plants are poisonous, and that they should check with an adult before eating anything they are not familiar with.
