Spring is for laying the foundation for a bountiful summer harvest. For sowing the seeds for a slower life. For taking time to appreciate all the waking days of spring has to offer. Lay the groundwork in your growing space with the following spring gardening tasks:
During our garden and botany homeschool unit, which was held every morning outside at our big table in the middle of our garden, we read the book, How Does My Garden Growby Gerda Muller. Within a few pages, it had inspired all three of my children to ask for their own garden plots and wanted to sow seeds right then.
This year, the kids and I have a goal of spending 1000 hours outside! We printed off a gorgeous free tracker from 1000 Hours Outside and have it hanging proudly on our wall and easily accessible to the kids when they come inside. I hope you will consider downloading it too! It can be catered to what works best for your family and is a beautiful way to encourage time outdoors together in nature.
