Ivanka shared multiple photos and videos with her kids, planting their vegetables and plants in their backyard in Miami. "More than ever, it’s important to reconnect with where our meals come from—and teaching our children the value of locally grown, nutrient-rich whole foods is one of the most meaningful and lasting lessons," she shared on social media.

She revealed that gardening is the perfect activity to connect with her kids. "For our family, planting a garden has always been a cherished tradition," she explained. "It has always been about more than just growing food. It’s about spending time together with our hands in the dirt, cultivating a connection to the natural world, understanding the importance of healthy soil, and making thoughtful choices that honor both our bodies and this planet."

The author and businesswoman said that it is a powerful reminder of the "dedication and resilience of American farmers, who work tirelessly to feed us often against great odds."

Ivanka explained that she wants her kids to have a "sense of responsibility," and tending to their garden is a good way to teach them, "as each of them has their own tasks, while also nurturing mindfulness and gratitude for the Earth’s many gifts. Watching what blooms and thrives with the changing seasons teaches them that nature has its own rhythm—and that when we align with it, we are more in tune with the world around us."

She also urged her fans and followers to plant their own garden. "As we sow these seeds in our backyards and our communities, we’re also cultivating lessons about gratitude, stewardship, and the value of whole, real food. If you’ve ever considered starting a garden, let this be your sign—it’s a gift that nourishes both body and soul in countless ways."
