Start Your Very Own Family Garden!
  • Leave an area where kids can dig, even after planting. This is often their favorite part of gardening. Look for earthworms together!
  • Get some child-sized tools from a local nursery or garden center. Try to find tools that look genuine so the kids will fell like real gardeners.
  • Kids like extremes, so plant huge flowers, like sunflowers, and small vegetable plants, like cherry tomatoes. Plant fragrant flowers or herbs like peonies, lavender, and chocolate or pineapple mint. Show your kids how to rub the herbs between their fingers to get a really good whiff.
  • Teach your kids how to compost. Find a place behind a tree, or dig a hole in the ground.
  • Look in the children's section of your library or bookstore for both gardening how-to books and storybooks.
