Gardens are places where a child's imagination engages nature - and the result is joyful learning.

Hollyhocks and honeybees: Garden projects for young children will give you all the support and motivation to garden with young children.

Gardening is a life-long love and skill, it appeals to all of a child's senses and is an ideal way to incorporate learning experiences in a meaningful way.

A gardening curriculum incorporates:

• language and literacy;
• science and maths;
• social sciences and the arts; and
• physical, cognitive, social and emotional development.

Simple instructions lead early childhood teachers through all the stages of planning and implementing these imaginative garden ideas, with themes such as:

• bird and butterfly garden;
• dinosaur garden;
• kitchen garden;
• sensory garden;
• and more!
