Sow the Seeds of Wonder: Homeschool in the Garden

A garden is a magical place!  It all began in a garden.  Mary, Colin, and Dickon discovered a garden's healing powers.  Children find themselves while playing in and tending to a garden.  “Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our children's health (and also, by the way, in our own)" Richard Louv.  In this week's episode, Carrie shares simple and inexpensive ways to sow the seeds of wonder in your children by planting a garden.  Even if you don't have a yard, the space, the budget, or even a green thumb,  starting a garden as part of your homeschooling is possible.  Pour yourself a cup of green tea, put your feet up, and take a little coffee break with Carrie.Resources Mentioned in this Episode:A Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard LouvRoots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots: Gardening Together with Children by Sharon LovejoyWe Are the Gardeners by Joanna Gaines and Farm Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of Country Life by Julia Rothman.Support the showPurchase A Home Education Handbook: 9 Questions to Ask for Simple & Balanced Home-Based LearningPurchase Homeschool High School:  A Handbook for Christian EducationPurchase Just Breathe (and Take a Sip of Coffee):  Homeschool Simply & Enjoyably.  Schedule a Coffee Date (One-on-One Personalized Coaching Session:  Coffee With Carrie Subscribe to Coffee With Carrie email newsletter for FREE Morning Time Plans and monthly tips  https://coffeewithcarrie.org Follow on Instagram @coffeewithcarrieconsultant.
