Garden Journal (ages 8-12)

Learning how to plant a garden is so much fun! This garden journal was created to encourage children to get outside, plan a garden, and to grow plants in a garden! This activity journal also helps children identify insects and other creatures in the garden that help the plants. It is crucial that we teach our children to help our earth through gardening and to learn why plants are important.

This journal is more than a typical journal. It is filled with learning pages and poems as well! There are different types of gardening--flower, vegetables, fruit, herbs, and even wild plants considered "weeds."

Below are the types of pages in the journal:

• Garden Quotes & Poems
• What plants need to grow
• Plant friends/companions ("Three Sisters")
• Weather Chart
• Journal pages
• Designing a garden
• Plant growth recording pages
• Bugs and creatures of the garden
• Charting garden creatures
• Wees/edible weeds
• Herbs
• Edible mushrooms
• Life Cycles: ladybug, pumpkin, and sunflower
• Labeling parts: apple, plant, flower, and corn kernel
• Answer keys for labeling pages

The journaling pages and plant records page can be copied more than once to include in the child's journal.

There are a total of 42 pages for the journal itself including the title page.

This journal is something that children can do at school for a school garden or at home in their own garden.

This product along with four others can be found in the Garden Bundle.
