Gardening for Beginners Handouts

Have you ever wanted to start gardening or taking care of plants and didn’t know how? Download the handouts below to learn about easy-to-care-for house plants, herbs, and vegetables. Then, color the plants and cut out the plants from each handout and glue to a strip of paper like a windowsill!

General tips:

  • Make sure to do your research about what conditions each plant needs to thrive.
  • Sun is important! Whether your plant needs full sunlight or none at all, keep them in an appropriate place in your house.
  • If you are gardening outside, learn about frost. Planting too early or too late during your plant’s season can lower your yield or kill your plants.
