Gardening is a fun and educational activity for kids of all ages, so why not make it even more enjoyable with some gardening songs? Learning how to care for plants can not only give children an appreciation of nature but also enhance their self-esteem by seeing the fruits (or vegetables!) of their labor.
Incorporating some playful tunes into the process can create an atmosphere that’s both inviting and keeps little ones motivated. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of popular garden-themed songs that are perfect to get your kids dancing while they plant!
We love gardening & what better way to ignite children’s excitement around gardening than with songs? Below are my favorite gardening songs for kids! Enjoy!

When I grow up
We can all sing!
