Abstract	As young children encounter animal and plant life, they are eager to figure out where plants and animals come from, which plants are edible, and which animals like to eat different plants. Gardening experiences provide ample opportunities to explore how plants grow, what plants need to grow, how to care for plants, and how to harvest the edible parts of plants. The surrounding world is a child's classroom, with endless opportunities for exploration and learning. In this article, the authors remind teachers and parents that opportunities to promote and support young children's learning and development abound in the outdoors with learning experiences specific to STEM/STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). The following three learning activities are presented in this article: (1) What Plants Need to Grow; (2) Planting Seeds; and (3) Parts of Plants. (ERIC).
