The site of Orchard Planet It offers very well organized information with varied content that includes access to products / services on how to create a garden, understand the language of the seeds, how to perform crop treatments, how to enrich the products that leave the land, etc. I've seen that they also have pages oriented to build community among fans, and not only them, who feel passion for this hard and sacrificed discipline like few others.
And it also has a specific section for the little ones called, El Huerto and the children, in which you can find children's games and activities to bring children closer to nature. And the goal is to start the little ones in the garden world in a playful, simple and entertaining way. It is important that we also explain to the children at home that the field is one of the most dignified and most sacrificed jobs that exist.
I think it is very grateful that we teach children, especially those who live in urban settings, the products that are obtained from the land, the effort required to obtain them and learn that the relationship with nature is a very serious thing. Near the house they have set up an urban garden that we usually visit on Sunday mornings. For children it is a surprising and attractive thing and although I find it difficult for them to succeed in the cities, because they require high professionalism, I believe that children earn a lot by knowing them, participating and becoming aware of what they mean.
I hope the site serves as a reference to learn or show this discipline to the kids. Some time ago we set up an orchard, in a wide space, and although I have many doubts that the harvest was profitable after the time spent, the materials used and the resources allocated, I think it was a rewarding experience and that my daughter still remembers . It also serves to relate many products you eat with their origin and what type is: leaf, stem, fruit, in addition to the effort involved in achieving it.
For all who have space available I encourage you to start with this site or many others on the Internet to undertake the mission of creating a garden. Also for schools that can take advantage of outdoor spaces. Children will be very excited to enjoy it after eating or doing other transactions.
