Growing With Gardening
Helping children to develop; healthy self-esteem, self discipline, confidence, social skills, friendship, and responsibility through gardening.
Philosophy: Nature provides us with innate ability for healthy development and healing. A flower that grows in the shade will grow taller in the direction of the sun in order to reach out for its nourishment. A tree will shade its leaves to preserve energy during the winter. We believe that children could learn to access their own internal wisdom by being in nature and working in the garden. Children of all ages, social-economic statues, religion, race, and geographical area need discipline that makes sense. Growing plants together with parents provide endless opportunities for discipline that promote respect, cooperation, team work, leadership, and friendship.
