Plant a Garden
Children are natural gardeners.
They’re curious, like to learn by doing and love to play in the dirt.
Working in a garden, a child can experience the satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time, while observing the cycle of life firsthand. - Easyearth.com
Gardening with kids teaches them an appreciation for nature. By including them in the process from start to finish – choosing, planting, tending the plants – you’ll give them a sense of satisfaction and ownership.
- Choose plants that suit your environment. Visit your local nursery or garden center to find plants that will thrive in different conditions.
- Build a flower box or create a full outdoor gardening space.
- Plant a vegetable garden – not only will you reap the benefits of being outside while gardening, but your family will enjoy fresh vegetables.
- If space is limited, try a container garden. They’re easy to plant and can be maintained indoors or out.
