CHILDREN'S GARDENS AT THE SHOW

The Children's Gardens have been an integral part of the San Francisco Flower & Garden show since 1998! Even the tiniest children's gardens attract a huge audience! Kids from around the Bay Area can get involved in gardening by creating these small container gardens. By working on a garden, teachers find their students acquire hands-on experience in horticulture and design, using plants and their imagination. It also offers teachers an opportunity to convey principles of biology in a fun way. Every child's garden gets a certificate and prizes are awarded!

The Show generously provides free admission to participating students. The Show provides containers, which are plastic propagation flats, 14 inches deep by 18 inches wide by 3 inches high. The Show does not provide the seeds or plants and each garden must contain some live plants.
