As the gardening season winds down, it’s the perfect moment to engage your kids in planning for next year’s garden. This transition into fall provides an ideal learning landscape, inviting young gardeners to ponder key design elements and seasonal chores that ensure a thriving garden in the year ahead. Through tasks such as pruning and seed collection, children gain hands-on experience and understand the ‘why’ behind each activity, making their learning deeply rooted in the natural cycles. Which perennial plants benefit from autumnal pruning? How might saving seeds this year influence next season’s garden? To enrich this educational journey, consider gathering edible seed heads or get curious about the root systems of perennials by dividing and replanting.
