Spring – When life awakens
When the first buds appear and the earth slowly regains its fragrance, a new chapter begins in the garden. Children experience spring as a time of new beginnings. Together, they plant the first seeds in the ground, marvel at tender seedlings, and watch the return of bees and butterflies. Birdhouses are hung, spring wreaths are made from natural materials, and with every ray of sunshine, joy grows. Cress in egg cartons, flower bulbs in pots, or a small bed of seed tapes are also easy ways to introduce children to gardening in a playful way.
Summer – Everything grows, everything lives
Summer is colorful and lush—a true paradise for children. There's buzzing and humming everywhere, berries can be picked straight from the bush, and zucchini grow almost overnight. The days are long and full of possibilities: watering holes are set up for animals, insect hotels are filled, barefoot gardening is practiced, and flowers are collected for later drying. Harvesting is also a highlight now—hand-picked tomatoes, cucumbers, or a small bouquet of marigolds represent true gardening happiness. And if you look closely, you might spot a grasshopper, a butterfly, or even a sleeping bee among the lavender.
