5 Tips for Teaching Children How To Garden
-
Start Small
You don’t need a large area to teach gardening. In fact, it’s easier to maintain interest by starting small.
-
Choose High Interest Plants
Leafy plants grow rapidly and can be harvested more than once.
-
Cultivate Good Habits
Establishing regular watering and plant care schedules cultivates consistency in children.
-
Enjoying the Fruits of Their Labor
Children get firsthand experience of the food cycle when the plants they grew appear on their plate.
