Children’s Activity : "Hands in the Soil"
Is a plant a living being ? Can it feel, breathe, or travel ? This family-friendly activity, designed for children aged 6 to 12, will help them better understand the plant world. A plant does not grow alone. It relies on birds for seeding, bees for reproduction, and soil inhabitants for nourishment. An entire world awaits discovery in the garden. Once their activity booklet is completed and these concepts are understood, it’s time to put theory into practice—time to garden ! In a provided pot, children will recreate the perfect soil and sow a few seeds. They can then watch their plants grow by giving them the care they need.
