You don’t need space for a huge garden to give children access to garden-based education! With a small sunny corner or even a larger 12’ x 12’ garden area at your early care and education site, you can create a sunflower garden to have a place of joy and beauty. This resources cover all the basics of starting a sunflower garden with young children, including materials needed and estimated costs as well as tips for involving young children in the garden. Related activities for each age group (infants/toddlers, 2-year olds, and 3 to 5 year olds and school age) are included along with connections to the Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards. This resource is funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation of Battle Creek, Michigan. View Resource »
