The study group of the research consists of 29 children aged 36-66 months attending an independent kindergarten in Tarsus district of Mersin province. In the study, a structured interview form was used as a data collection tool after a detailed review of the literature. In the research, the answers given by the children in the interviews were analysed by content analysis method. As a result of the reliability calculation, the reliability of the study was found to be 96%. As a result, it was determined that the garden practices supported children to have knowledge about waste management, biodiversity, renewable energy and water saving and to develop awareness.
