To begin, collect your ends and invite your child to the experience.  As your child places the vegetable ends in the tray, consider asking, “What do you think this vegetable is named?”. Once the tray is ready with the ends and water, find a sunny spot to place the tray.  Over the course of the days, consider asking your child, “Does our garden need more water?”, this encourages responsibility, understanding, and empathy. You can build on self –confidence by emphasizing to your child about all the care and nurture they gave to the garden to grow.
