Gardening for Kids with Madi (called Madi's Garden on Discovery Kids Asia) is an Australian series of shorts for preschoolers. It is a follow-up to Cooking for Kids with Luis from the same creators (Luis also appeared in some of the episodes). The shorts are about a green-fingered girl named Madi who teaches viewers how to garden. [2] Madi loves gardening because she likes to learn about different plants.
