Organic gardening has become an increasingly important part of the curriculum in schools throughout the world. Teachers in all grade levels are teach her students and sometimes being called on to give a speech to a group of parents. As a career educator and principal, I know the difficulty to open the preparation time of speech and offer this speech organic gardening for your use. Feel free to edit it to suit your needs.
Speech of organic gardening
How selfish are you? On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the highest, how would you rate the same selfish? If you are a little selfish, you might be interested in organic gardening.
Organic gardening is a may seem more appropriate, from a home economics teacher, but I'm just selfish enough that I love organic gardening. I want to share this love with you and with your children.
Imagine
I want you to come with me, in imagination, a time and place before the Industrial Revolution. The year is from 1707. It is the end of the summer. We are in walking the streets of a small town. Houses are well spaced for privacy. Land stretches behind each House. As we look, we realize that much of what the Earth is taken over by gardens. Here and there, we see adults and children actively involved in gardening. The plants are beautiful.
You call one of the adults and what they use to make the garden as lush. A broad smile and breaks through the smile, come the words, "feed the soil and the soil will feed the plants.
You shake your head. Poor people. Too bad they don't know about this miracle combination of chemicals that you saw advertised on TV last week. This is the easy way to grow plants spectacular!
Dinner
The organic gardener invites us to join them for the evening meal, and we accept. At dinner, join in prayer of thanks, and then watch in amazement as children, one after another, start eating fresh vegetables.
Yourself is not what they like vegetables, but politely take a small portion of each. You bite into a piece of steamed cabbage, and open eyes in amazement. Is twice as sweet as cabbage that you buy in your local market-sweet! You watch a small child fill your mouth with dark green cabbage and cringe. There is a small vegetable spoon nasty in its own dish and you choose it, putting a small sheet in your mouth. Amazing! Too, is twice as sweet as any cabbage that you have ever eaten. The same seems true of each vegetable on the table. You decide that, if your supermarket vegetables in this good, you would eat more of them.
Our imaginary trip ends this dining table, and we return to the present.
Benefits of organic gardening
Organic gardening has many benefits. If you are completely selfish, you will want these benefits for yourself. If you're generous, you will want these benefits to your family. Let me give you just three of the benefits of organic gardening.
1. Taste: organic gardening has been proven to produce the tastiest fruits and vegetables. A Hong Kong study measured levels of Brix, the percentage of sugar in vegetable juice, using organic gardening products and non-organic gardening. The results showed that organic gardening produced products that was 2 to 4 times sweet produced by non-organic gardening. Fresh fruits and vegetables are tastier and easier to eat, if you are a young person or an adult. Organic gardening help it eat better, providing fruits and vegetables more flavorful.
2. Nutrition: organic gardening has also been found to provide nutritionally superior products. Virginia Worthington, Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, in comparison with the composition of vegetables grown simultaneously in different conditions of agriculture. His work included studies with 1,240 41 35 comparisons vitamins and minerals. Worthington found that organic gardening produced vegetables and fruits that were superior in most minerals and vitamins to non-organic gardening. Not only that, organic gardening products was lower in potentially harmful nitrates, which are the result of nitrogen fertilizers. Dr. Worthington concluded that organic gardening products are nutritionally superior. You and your family will enjoy better health with fruits and vegetables organic gardening. (Effect of farming methods on nutritional quality: A comparison of organic with conventional crops, Virginia Worthington MS, ScD, CNS, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, 1998, alternative therapies, Volume 4, 1998, pp. 58-69)
3. exercise: Finally, organic gardening offers you and your children regular daily exercise outdoors. Organic gardening helps build muscle, the particularly important core muscles. Organic gardening you get in sunlight, where you can absorb essential vitamin d. organic gardening is a great stress management tool. Organic gardening gives you an outlet for creativity. It provides satisfaction as you see his work produce vegetables, herbs and fruit.
We could talk about the aesthetic pleasures of organic gardening-how beautiful this garden can become. We could talk about how you can save money with organic gardening-growing your product instead of buying.
Finally, we could talk about how important it is for our children to learn about organic gardening, to embrace it as the path to better health and to practice it with the school, home and community gardens.
A speech by organic gardening could go on for hours, but I'll stop here, hoping I have whetted your interest enough that you will find more information about organic gardening.
