Embark on a journey with Leonie Shanahan at the upcoming 2024 ECTA Early Childhood Teachers Association conference as we delve into the transformative world of hands-on experiences with children in edible gardens.
Planting the seeds of healthy habits today will blossom into lifelong memories and wellness. We will explore the cultivation of a diverse and colourful garden of nutrient-rich produce, stimulating not only a sensory symphony of textures, taste, colour, and smell but also providing a rich tapestry of essential nutrients for children’s growing body, brain, mind, and spirit. Encouraging hands-on participation, allows children to feel, smell, and taste the bounty of nature, fostering a lifelong appreciation for healthy, tasty choices. The sensory symphony of growing foods lays the foundation for a lifetime of positive eating habits.
Discover how nutrients are absorbed without even eating the food. Together, let’s sow the seeds of a healthier and happier future for our children. Plant list provided
