Of the many ways to do the Earth good, perhaps the most far-reaching is to convey to children a sense of love, respect and responsibility for nature's beauty, power and vulnerability.
We hope you will find this a useful resource in your quest for sustainable organic education resources. Gardening with children is a fantastic resource for involving childrens' gardening projects with your own passion. Start them young, and gardening with children will be a fun, rewarding pastime for years to come. Children's gardening is a fast growing hobby, shared by children and adults alike.
