Gardening
“The Little Acorn”: hands-on gardening activities that bring children into contact with soil, plants, composting and the cycle of growth.
Soil, plants and patience
Children dig, plant and water, hands in the soil and tools scaled to them.
Coming back to the same plant, they follow the cycle of growth, learn about composting and get used to waiting.
Through planting and care, children discover what a plant needs to grow: water, light and soil.
“What you care for grows, but it takes time.”
What it can offer
Contact with nature
A direct, practical relationship with soil and plants.
Responsibility
The plant needs care, and the children take it on.
Observation
Small changes you only see if you look closely.
Fine motor skills
Seeds, tools and soil exercise the hands.
Patience
The results do not arrive the same day.
Working as a group
Caring for the garden is something we share.
Benefits are possible and indicative. They are not a medical promise of results.

We show the tools and how to use them safely.
Planting or tending
We plant, or care for what we planted before.
Observing and talking
We look at what changed and talk about it.
