Teach tamariki the importance of watering with fun, hands-on garden activities. Learn practical watering tips for early childhood gardens that nurture care, responsibility, and curiosity while helping your plants thrive all summer long.

Gardening offers neurodiverse children opportunities to learn, connect, and thrive. Through simple, hands-on activities, tamariki build confidence, social skills, and emotional wellbeing while discovering the joy of growing and nurturing living things together.

Inclusive garden design supports neurodiverse tamariki by creating spaces that nurture calm, curiosity, and connection. With sensory-friendly plants, accessible layouts, visual supports, and opportunities for choice, gardens become places where every child can participate, regulate emotions, and grow with confidence.
