Our garden

Little Farmers

In the Little Roots garden, children plant seeds, water, weed, and watch things grow. Then they harvest and help turn what they’ve grown into snacks and meals, from seed to plate.

Along the way they learn patience, responsibility, where food comes from, and how to care for living things. Dirt under the fingernails is always welcome!

  • Patience
  • Responsibility
  • Where food comes from
  • Caring for living things

  1. Plant

    Tiny hands press seeds into the soil and wonder what will come up.

  2. Tend

    We water, weed, and check on our plants, watching them grow day by day.

  3. Harvest

    When it’s ready, we pick, gather, and proudly carry in our basket.

  4. Share & Eat

    We wash, chop, and stir our harvest into snacks and meals to share.

Every child gets their own little plot or pot to care for. [Garden details: raised beds, herbs, etc.]

What might we grow? Examples: herbs, tomatoes, and greens.
