Gardening with Kids (Recording) DESCRIPTION:Gardening not only connects children to nature\, it engages all five senses\, encourages healthy eating\, develops math and science skills\, teaches patience and responsibility\, creates environmental stewards and is a great way for families to spend time together! \nDuring this event Kashon DuBose\, Founder and Executive Director of Cultivators and Sonya Harris\, Master Gardener and Founder and CEO of The Bullock Garden Project will share the work they are doing with their communities\, hands-on gardening activities that parents\, caregivers and educators can facilitate with children – even if they have a small space and poor soil conditions\, and sage advice on how your family can get the most out of garden and farm projects. \nYou’ll hear from: \n\nKashon DuBose Kashon is the Founder and Executive Director of Cultivators\, a nonprofit that provides in-school\, after-school and community center programming for elementary and middle school students.
