Gardening with kids can sow the seeds of a lifelong love of plants, the earth, and nature's wonders. As well as sharing an outdoor activity, you can teach your child about environmental stewardship.
Many parents wait for spring to start their vegetable and flower gardens with their children, planting seeds for the beautiful bounty—or misshapen carrots—they will harvest later in the summer. Incorporating kids into the gardening process offers them an expanded ecological perspective, as well as many mental and physical health benefits. It's never too soon to begin gardening with kids!
