April is recognized as National Garden Month, which celebrates the joys and benefits of gardening. This month is the perfect time to start planning your garden! Gardening is great to do at any age and is a fantastic educational tool. Kids can learn about where their food comes from, the life cycle of plants, and the importance of biodiversity. By planting fruits and vegetables, children experience the excitement of harvesting their food, which can encourage healthy eating habits.
