Five things you can do to garden




What is a garden?

Where can you find fragrant flowers blooming, sweet strawberries growing, earthworms squirming, bees buzzing, and birds chirping? You can find them all in a garden, of course! Gardens are a collection of plants that we grow in spaces like a window box, a schoolyard, or a backyard. You can even grow a garden in a bucket, toy truck, or an old shoe. Gardens come in many shapes and sizes, but no matter how big or small, gardens provide a fun way to learn how parts of nature work together!
