RE: Of Mother Earth, Gardening and Kids...

I hear you about always expanding the gardens to accommodate more veggies! Some of the first gardens I started here was in pure sugar sand but I manages to build up the soil to get it producing!
I love seeing kids in the garden at an early age and being able to send them out to graze!
Thank-you for your kind comment, I'm really enjoying putting this together - lots of fun!
Even though we just have a small group of kids taking this first pilot project, I'm doing the groundwork with plans to bring it to the schools for I feel gardening should be a part of every child education!
If you know of any contacts for getting this program out to more kids let me know.

Good afternoon @porters, I completely agree it should be part of the curriculum, taught at a young age it could change the way they eat for the rest of their lives, making them healthier. There needs to be a shift towards sustainability, supporting local farmers or better yet, growing your own food.
Good luck with the project, excellent choice.
Enjoy your day!
