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.

Cultivate Good Habits
Establishing regular watering and plant care schedules cultivates consistency in children.
Enjoying the Fruits of Their Labor
