Welcome back!

Children are naturally inquisitive, so nurturing their curiosity by exploring the plant world is a great exercise for both you and them. If your child is not interested in gardening, you can entice them by utilizing the following methods:

· Go to the bookstore together and purchase a gardening book with a lot of color photos. You can read the book together.

· Go to the local plant store together and have them rummage through the seed packets to find something they may want to grow.

· Continue by looking at the different sizes and colors of the containers you can use. Let them pick one out for their very own.

· If your child has a neighborhood friend you could involve the friend. Most of the time when they do projects together it’s more fun for them.

Children can learn about nature and how plants grow and that vegetables don’t just come from the grocery store or at vegetable stands on the side of the road. They will be proud of being able to grow something themselves and best of all……they get to eat it. It teaches them life lessons in responsibility and patience. They will learn that growing vegetables is easy and fun.
