Eamon Fennelly from Capital Gardening has some great advice on getting active in the garden with your children this spring. His infographic illustrates 1. The physical and mental benefits of gardening for young people, 2. The outcomes of growing different crops, 3. How to tailor gardening to variety of age groups and 4. What safety precautions you should take.
If you find the below infographic useful, make sure to check out Eamon’s previous infographic on building a bug hotel. We also have articles detailing how you can get kids into nature, the different ways to boost your garden’s wildlife potential, how a wildlife friendly garden can benefit amphibians, as well as a variety of ID guides on insects such as the garden bumblebee and wildflowers such as the herb-robert.
This is awesome work! Thank you for sharing this with all of us who work with children and youth!
