This event is hosted by KidsGardening.
Gardening offers young children meaningful opportunities to explore nature, develop healthy eating habits, and engage in hands-on learning. This session will highlight practical ways early childhood educators can integrate garden-based learning into their programs to support nutrition education, outdoor play, and curiosity about where food comes from.
Participants will explore strategies for starting and maintaining simple garden spaces, engaging children in planting and harvesting activities, and connecting garden experiences to cooking and tasting opportunities. The presentation will also share examples from early childhood programs that have successfully incorporated gardening to support healthy habits and outdoor learning.'
