Your child may be ready if they show an interest in nature, enjoy outdoor activities, and have patience for planting and nurturing plants.
Look for instructors with experience in horticulture, botany, or environmental education, and a passion for teaching children. A background in sustainable gardening practices is also valuable.
Encourage your child to start a small garden at home, participate in community gardening projects, or watch online tutorials about plant care and cultivation.
Children as young as 4 or 5 can start with simple gardening activities, like planting seeds, with more complex tasks introduced as they grow older.
