Celebrating National Garden Month


The entire month of April is the best time to take care of your garden, plant more flowers, and to celebrate National Garden Month. Planting your own flowers or vegetables can help you and your children learn about how flowers and vegetables are grown. Also, you can read with your child about the different types of flowers and vegetables. Creating a plant or a flower journal can help you and your child learn about plants. Taking photos of flowers and matching those flowers with the garden books or drawing flowers can help you and your child to have fun celebrating the garden month.

Arranging and cutting flowers and placing them in a vase helps you to feel more cheerful especially during stressful times. Another way is by smelling each flower in your garden and distinguishing the different scents of each flower. Smelling flower scents make you feel less anxious and help you be in a good mood. If you don’t have a garden, you can plant herbs indoors, add fresh flowers in the living room, or look at digital photos of gardens online. Here are more resources about celebrating National Garden Month.
