![]() ![]() ![]() JEAN: Will you tell us a bit about the School Gardening Club you are involved with now? How has your experience shaped how you think of kids and gardening?ĬATHY: I run the club with my friend Kate, and we take enthusiastic groups of eight- and nine-year-olds once a week, during recess after lunch, for hand-ons gardening and outdoor arts. My mum is a great gardener, so we had a pretty place to play at home, and also a bluebell wood nearby for bigger adventures – but I would have loved to have had more gardening fun and creative outdoor opportunities at my school. JEAN: So, tell us, was your childhood gardening experience as magical, fun, and educational as you seem to want to make it for kids today?ĬATHY: I did spend a lot of time playing outdoors. You can learn more about it here or buy it here. Update :: The Garden Classroom is now available as a traditionally-published book! Cathy James, mother of two, and the blogger behind NurtureStore, is the author of a wonderful new e-book on gardening with kids called, The Garden Classroom: 52 Kids Gardening Activities. Here she shares some tips for getting kids excited about gardening. ![]()
