Welcome to the first installment of our DIY educational series on supporting local wildlife! During our Summer Camp in Asheville, NC, we are constantly trying to find ways to support our birds, pollinators, and other essential creatures. For the first post, we're going to introduce you to a charming (and simple) way to attract feathered friends to your garden—pinecone bird feeders.
Engaging children in activities that foster a connection with nature is essential for their development and environmental awareness. Making seed balls is a perfect project that combines creativity, gardening, and environmental stewardship.
Welcome to The Educational Garden Project's blog! Today, we have an intriguing story to share that highlights the wonders of our Garden Camp and the valuable lessons it imparts. Last week’s theme was Chickens, Bunnies, and Ducks. Join us as we delve into an incident that occurred that week, involving our beloved baby birds and some clever crows seeking their next meal. This heartwarming tale showcases the circle of life, the intelligence of crows, and how we turned a moment of sadness into a creative project for our campers.
As the sun warms the earth and our days grow longer, make time to enjoy nature with your kids! Time spent outside in nature is crucial to the wellbeing of our children.
These are some of the activities we facilitate in our program, modified so that you can do them at home with your family for free or very low cost, using materials from your very own home and front yard:

Seeking authentic and valuable outdoor experiences for your children? Welcome to The Educational Garden Project in Asheville, North Carolina, where we recognize the profound impact of animals in nurturing young minds.

Last week at The Educational Garden Project, we had an absolute blast making Agua Fresca with our enthusiastic campers! The children eagerly took part in every step of the process, from slicing the watermelon to blending and straining the juice. The joy on their faces as they poured the vibrant red liquid into glasses was simply priceless. We’re excited to share this wonderful experience with families and individuals who would like to replicate it at home.

As we enter into 2021, the staff at The Educational Garden Project thought it would be fitting to have our first weekly theme of Kid’s Garden Camp be Self Care. Anxiety and uncertainty, loneliness and isolation have become a common theme for most households and so we are providing many ways from which each of us can replenish our souls with simple things we can do for ourselves. We are offering concrete things to encourage a healthier and calmer lifestyle by making teas, bath bombs, bath salts, salves, Oxymels, and hand sanitizer.
