Session or Support Description
Our community garden group will work together on gardening projects; this will require individuals to work together, fostering collaboration and teamwork. It will help to teach valuable social skills, like communication and sharing responsibilities. Our Gardening sessions will support learners in developing practical skills such as planting, watering, pruning, and harvesting. These activities will be used to teach basic scientific concepts like plant growth, the water cycle, and photosynthesis.
