Content

Come accept your mission and be welcomed by the Gardening Grandma - your guide and mentor. Here we start our adventure by putting on our creative hats to come up with a type of garden you would like to create. You'll receive a copy of "Bringing Out the Potential of Children - Gardeners" and workbook to use though out the course. Let the adventure begin...

We're partnering with Mother Nature and in this session we're calling on her Super Hero - the Sun. To tune into Mother Nature we need to call on our powers of observation and start tracking the sun to harness it's power for getting lots of growth in our garden. We'll research our climate data which will give us Mother Nature's schedule and put her to work for us. All this to start building our plan for our garden.

Time to get into the dirt! A few more tweaks to our garden plan then we can dig in. We're going to take a look at the soil which is the foundation for the home we are building for our plants. Learning what it takes to have healthy soil. Healthy Soil = Healthy Plants = (when you eat those plants) a Healthier You!

Time to start getting our seeds in the ground, start to get to know how our plants grow and how to nurture them so they thrive. Plus looking at an alternative to direct seeding - using seedlings

You've done the part of preparing your garden and getting your seeds and plants in. Now as we're getting to know our plants more and how they grow we'll be learning how to give them the right care so they will produce and start giving us some garden goodies!

It's all about keeping focused on moving towards the garden you wish to create. With that focus we'll help you make plans and put systems in place, recording what is going on in your garden so you can review what things worked in your garden and where you may want to make some changes for the next gardening season
