Thesis Abstract

Gardening as a Holistic Approach to View and to Support Learning and Development in Early Childhood Education

Plants have been one of the early life forms on Mother Earth, which could be traced back to millions of years ago. Plants have also accompanied human living in many aspects, like agriculture, architecture, art, science and more. I conducted various planting activities with parents and children to explore the depth and diversity of learning experiences embedded within gardening. This thesis project documented the journey of the author being a learner, an early childhood educator and a gardener who cherished each encounter with people who learned with her.
