Remember when you were a kid and your parents told you to go outside and play? Well, this video is all about that, except in our case, the parent (gardenstead’s president, Katie Macdonald) is going outside with her kids!

Why are we going outside to play in this video? Well, first of all, it’s fun. But, also — studies have shown that it’s important for all of us to spend time in nature. And for kids, it’s even more important. Time outside provides health benefits, emotional benefits and developmental benefits, and, when kids go outside, they can develop an understanding of the natural world and an appreciation for all the earth gives us. Katie talks about all of this with her kids, and shares in the joy of nature with them in this video. There’s about a month left of summer — go outside and play!

Have you spent time outside with your kids this summer? Let us know in the comments below.

Be sure to watch the whole video to find out which book inspired Katie’s adventures with her kids outdoors — it’s a good one!

Gardenstead is an online gardening community and plant lovers channel of gardeners who love to get their hands dirty, both indoors and outdoors. Our gardeners run the gamut. They are vegetable gardeners, houseplant nurturers, small space gardening engineers, herbalists, flower enthusiasts and succulent aficionados.

Our goal has always been to connect gardeners in an inclusive gardening community, foster and share knowledge, and make gardening resources available to everyone.

As we grow, we seek to expand our conversations about gardening and to
cultivate a mindful embrace of nature and the healing and grounding properties
to be found in it.

Plants cultivate connections between people — from urban settings of balcony gardens
and small spaces to rural backyards with larger and more expansive gardens. We hope
you’ll join us as we continue to nurture these connections and create new ones.
