The present work consists of three stages. In the first, the author's professional and personal story is told. In the second, the base authors of this work are presented, as well as the methodologies used: Bibliographic Research, Qualitative and Reflective Memorial. In the third stage, solutions are presented for the main problem presented: Botanical Blindness. Therefore, the author proposes an activity to be applied in Kindergarten, in the discipline of Science in the field of Botany, since children in this age group correspond to the next generation of adults. Thus, the proposed activity consists of building a vertical vegetable garden. The suggestion is that a team be set up to accompany the children in planting plants, so that they develop skills such as: attention, interest and scientific curiosity about plants. Thus, the idea for this monograph emerged, which is to form a team with parents and teachers to monitor the activity (at school and at home). Some authors emphasize that the ideal for Science Teaching is to allow students to have contact with plants, in a practical way, having a mentor to accompany them in the development of activities, for example, they mention plant cultivation under the supervision of the teacher or family members, according to each stage of the child's development. Soon, the steps for the construction of the vertical Horta activity are demonstrated, as well as its benefits. Finally, the experiences obtained during the monograph are exposed in the final considerations item. Keywords: Early Childhood Education. Botanical Blindness. Botany Sciences.
