Educating Parents ft. Ellen Mary

Skinny Jean Gardener Podcast

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of gardening with children and its impact on both kids and adults. Special guest Ellen Mary poses an intriguing question: Is gardening with children more about educating parents and teachers than the kids themselves?

We explore how introducing gardening to children often involves teaching the adults around them, equipping parents and teachers with the tools and knowledge they need to nurture a child's connection to nature. Together, we discuss the importance of empowering grown-ups to guide children on their gardening journey, how it can bridge generational gaps, and the role it plays in fostering a lifelong love for the environment.

Tune in as we uncover the balance between educating the adults and inspiring the next generation of green-fingered kids!
