Kids love color and gardens can be a very colorful place.

Starting a garden for kids.

Contact your local cooperative extension service. Kids also enjoy plants that offer unique shapes such as eggplant or gourds after harvesting gourds can be decorated and used as birdhouses you can even turn them into canteens or maracas. It s better to be thrilled by what you produce in a small garden than be frustrated by the time commitment a big one requires. If you don t want to till and nourish the soil you ve got or if you have a bad back and would rather not be bending down so low to garden you can build a raised planting bed with non pressure treated wood.

Rainbow gardens are a fun theme for children to participate in. Decide between tilling and creating a raised bed. Plants that represent the colors of the rainbow red orange yellow green blue violet and indigo are great teaching tools that are exciting for. Planting flowers was a pastime when i was a child and i especially like the idea of a plant journal.

This is a fun and inspiring guide for beginners to gardening. A local gardening center can help. Plus it makes sense to learn gardening basics before investing tons of time and money in this new hobby. If you re a beginner start small.

Once you start a garden you ll gain a new appreciation for healthy soil as it improves year after year. So i always try to spend my free time on starting out gardening projects for our kids. Start with a small garden. Healthy vibrant soil healthy vibrant plants with built in disease and pest resistance and more nutrition.
