Is it good to let kids learn how to plant?

I don't understand. Some kids like to plant flowers or vegetables and some kids don't care. If the kids want to plant something, help them learn how to do it correctly. If they aren't interested, then don't force them.

not all are made for planting.

WE always had a big garden when I was growing up so I learned at an early age. When I did daycare I let each child show mw which was their favorite plant of the ones I had. We would then take a clipping from it and put it in water. They got to see the clipping root and most of the children was really excited about it but there was some that didn't care. They also got to help plant seeds in my garden if they wanted too.

It's good to learn to plant for kids. It's a nice activity of course it is good for the environment.We were also taught to plant trees.

It's good to let kids love Nature and respect it. But some kids might not enjoy it like some adults would not like gardening. I would not force it on them. When my daughters were young, they showed interest and helped me in the garden. Now they don't find it interesting.

I think this is happening because the education system has changed over time.

Oh yes it is..it is very important these days too.

We never learned as we lived in apartments in the center of a city. When I visited my grandmother during summer, it took very little time to learn to plant flowers and vegetables.

We all should know how to grow things

Of course it's good! Everyone should know how to do basic things like this, and should know where their food comes from.

It's good you are doing that with your niece.

In India houses are losing gardens and plants. Children however should learn how to plant.

We had also gardening time in elementary grades and it was good. Maybe not for all pupils but for me it was. Not all enjoy gardening though.

My friends and I recently started a project of children planting trees on their birthdays, I hope it works out

I've been wanting to grow my own herbs for a long time but this is something I'm not very good at, especially the part where I have to maintain it.

We too had a garden in the school and we were taught how to plant. It is a must

I remember when my kids were in kinder garden they were taught how to plant fruits/vegetables in the park. From then my kids got an interest in gardening and she does something frequently in the pots, yesterday itself she put some seeds of tomato in the pot and regularly watering the pot.

What children learn is schools is really up to the school, the teacher and were you live. My kids school do the plant cycle so yes in Elementary school so some teachers do let the kids plant a plant, but it can get messy and there isn't always the proper stuff or space for them to go. It's not Videl to learning. Middle school and high school they usually there is not time at all. Lots of family's garden but we are all not good at taking care of plants. All three of my kids did pea bods and grew them in little dixe cups and brought them home. None of them made it to long. The youngest did made it through most of summer but he pulled the darn thing before I transplanted into a bigger pot and killed it. They all know how to plant. You don't have to do it to accentual know how to do it.

yes it is very good exercise. I make my elder son do some gardening

In school, we are taught to plant veggies, trees and flowers. I think that kids must learn this skill at an early stage. They should also learn there is money in it.
