This article is devoted to the problem of educating second graders to take care of plants in project activities. The authors note that this aspect has not been sufficiently developed in the field of environmental education. Based on the analysis of scientific, educational and methodological literature, the article defines the pedagogical conditions for educating younger schoolchildren to take care of plants in an environmental project. The theoretical information is supported by the results of a pedagogical experiment, which allowed the authors to draw conclusions about the effectiveness of educating second graders to take care of plants in the ecological project "My Tree".
