SQUARE FOOT SUMMER CAMP
SQUARE FOOT GARDENING CAMP INFORMATION
A Square Foot Garden is more than just a perfect place to grow vegetables--it is an ideal environment for kids of all ages to learn about gardening. In this camp. Instructor Brian Fuder teaches tips and tricks, and fun projects he has developed for children ages 6 years and up to build and grow their own square foot gardens. The easy geometry of the gridded box breaks the complex world of gardening into digestible bites that are easy to approach and understand for enthusiastic young learners, and the sequence of tasks required to grow plants from seeds is repeatable and reassuring. Kids can learn many valuable life lessons from creating their own garden--such as the importance of following instructions and doing your chores, basic skills like counting and water conservation, and learning to appreciate the nature of food and why it is important.
