Transcript of Gardening At Your School By Linda Hlozansky. When Did Your Love of Gardening Begin? Many Gardeners...
When Did Your Love of Gardening Begin?
Many Gardeners will say…when I was a child. Mom, Dad, Grandma, or Grandpa
shared their love of gardening with me.

Add soil
Put a different seed or two in each segment
See which will come up first.
Choose Seeds that Germinate Quickly!
Radish Pumpkin Zucchini Cucumber Carrot Peas
Try Potatoes in early spring out in the garden.

hard for young children to dig. Find a pot, raised bed, or old sand box (with a lot of holes in the bottom), and put in some good garden soil.
