KidsGardening is a national nonprofit ensuring that every child has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow through gardening. 

Since 1982, we’ve empowered educators and caregivers with grants, curricula, and training that bring hands-on, nature-based learning to life for more than 2.7 million children each year.

Research shows that gardening strengthens academic achievement, social-emotional health, environmental stewardship, and food security—benefits that are especially critical for children facing socioeconomic barriers. 

Through 200+ annual grants, free resources, and educator professional development, we help youth garden programs take root and thrive nationwide.

As interest in food systems, wellness, and outdoor learning surges, KidsGardening stands as the leading national provider of evidence-based garden education. 

Our free online Kids Garden Community—now 8,000 members strong—connects educators for collaboration and peer support, with 96% reporting increased confidence to garden with kids.

No other organization combines this level of reach, expertise, and practical support.KidsGardening uniquely bridges classrooms, child care centers, and community gardens across all 50 states—equipping educators and families to help children cultivate curiosity, connection, and resilience through gardening.
