Today, the number of overweight and obese children has been increasing all over the world. It had led to the risk of developing health problems such as diabetes, heart diseases and high blood pressure. From 2004-2011 in Vietnam, the rate of obese or overweight children increased by 5-11 percent per year, but since 2011 to now the rate has climbed up alarmingly to 15-21 percent per year. Many studies have shown that most children who become overweight and obese often have an unreasonable nutrition regime and also do not enjoy participating in activities. Those kids like eating sweets, fat and carbonated drinks while they arenot supplied a suitable fiber, typically vegetables in their meal. It is not really easy to resolve this issue. Therefore, creating healthy habits from childhood is essential. In this study, I try to find out benefits that gardening activities bring to children. In fact, when they directly participate into activities and are exposed to healthy messages of gardening activities and foods that has the most potential have a positive effect to long-term changes over the children. First, I searched for models which teach students to grow some vegetable at schools and households. Second, I studied the benefits that the kids may receive over these activities. And finally, I analyzed the effects there could be of reducing the rate of children’s overweight and obesity
