Free Garden Worksheets for 3rd Grade
Ages 8–9
Garden worksheets nurture both scientific understanding and practical life skills by guiding children through every stage of growing plants. Students investigate what seeds need to germinate, track growth over days and weeks using measurement charts, and learn why sunlight, water, and soil nutrients are essential for healthy development. Composting activities explain how organic waste transforms into rich soil, connecting everyday habits to environmental responsibility. Garden planning exercises develop math skills as children calculate row spacing, estimate harvest dates, and design plot layouts on grid paper. Nutrition-focused worksheets link the garden to the kitchen, helping learners identify which vitamins come from different fruits and vegetables they can grow themselves. These resources bridge indoor learning with outdoor practice, giving children the confidence to start their own small gardens while reinforcing science, math, and health literacy in a deeply hands-on way.
