Kids in the Garden: Plant Types
This View contains:
Trees are amazing and so important to our lives. We depend on them for so many things such as clean air, shade, as a windbreak and even as food for the soil and creatures on the ground. A tree is not just a plant. It's a whole and vital ecosystem.
Flowers - 0:05:13
From tiny daisies to huge sunflowers, flowers bloom in countless shapes and sizes. And their colors are just as varied and magnificent.
Fruits - 0:05:30
Fruit is packed full of vitamins and minerals that help us grow and protect us from diseases. And the strange thing is, they’re just hanging around on plants, waiting to be eaten. It's hard to resist them.
Veggies - 0:05:31
Veggies straight from the garden taste a whole lot better. They're fresh and full of the vitamins and minerals that are lost in the trip from the farm to the store. The great thing is they're pretty easy to grow and you don't need much space.
Herbs - 0:05:34
Herbs come in all shapes and sizes and are some of the most useful plants we have in the garden. They're used to flavor food, repel insects and make medicines. Wars have been fought and countries discovered all in the name of herbs!
Cacti - 0:05:14
Cacti are tough. They can survive in the harshest conditions known, going without water and nutrients for long periods of time. They're not just tough! No, they are nasty too, with sharp spines to protect their precious reserves.
Fungi - 0:05:35
A garden in the dark? But don’t all plants need light to survive? Well, that’s just it. Mushrooms aren’t plants. They’re part of a whole separate kingdom of living things known as fungi.
Creatures - 0:05:38
We think our garden is a peaceful paradise but really it's a jungle out there! Most animals are insects and our gardens are full of creepy crawlers, as well as birds and other animals. Why do we need so many living things in the garden?
