Proyecto SIEMBRA
 
 
 
Community and home gardens provide a variety of ways that children, even very young children, can participate. These include designing, preparing the ground, planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, and preparing and sharing food. All of these activities offer the opportunity for children to work cooperatively in groups, see the results of their efforts, learn about science and nutrition, and even create art and stories about gardening and gardens. These create spaces for intergenerational sharing and learning.
