GARDENING
In this age of global warming and climate catastrophes, signing your kids up at Eco Kids might just help them become more aware of the serious problems our world faces. And who knows, it could well be the birth of a little nature lover. Started in 2009 by Smita Kharbanda, city kids are given a taste of natural and urban farming. A session called Hands on Gardening takes children through the entire process of nurturing plants right from germination. This includes digging the soil, planting the seeds and then regularly watering the plants. The learning process is made fun for each child by including some artbased activity like story telling, flower jewellery and leaf masks or interactive games like treasure hunts. HIGHLIGHTS These activities teach techniques like recycling, vermiculture and solar cooking COST Rs 1,200 WHERE Podar Jumbo Kids, Worli TEL 23530570
