In this article we explore the important role of the garden in children’s learning. As a teacher educator/center director (John) and a preschool teacher (Beth), we share images that frame our adventures in the garden with children and draw from our broader goals for children—about who they are and how they learn about their world. Through these stories we explore the garden as a place for many possibilities: play and inquiry, safe risk taking, the building of relationships, and deeper understandings of diversity. The reciprocal learning observed in children’s interactions with nature and people convinces us of its importance in sustaining society’s commitment to the early years.
