As spring approaches, it’s time to get out there and share the joys of gardening with your child.
You have room for a garden, great. You don’t… no worries container gardening can be just as satisfying. Planting, learning to care for living plants, and enjoying the produce or flowers from a garden build skills, patience, and confidence in young gardeners.
For kids, vegetables, herbs and flowers have a big payoff. So many children who won’t touch spinach on their plate, happily eat it straight out of the garden if they grew it themselves. And being able to gift flowers you grew yourself to a friend of family member is priceless.
Starting from seed is inexpensive and fascinating. Below are some resources to help you and your child get started on your gardening adventure.
