Another good reason to garden with children is because they are naturally curious. It is how they learn new things. They don t just want to be told how to grow a plant. They want to see it, smell it, feel it, taste it and watch it grow. Herbs are great for kids because they are edible and smell great when crushed between little fingers.
Children love to pick flowers for parents and friends.
They will feel a great sense of accomplishment when the food that they grew is used in a meal or snack. A third reason is to teach them valuable life lessons . You can garden almost anywhere. Use your imagination. Any thing can be used as long as it has good drainage holes in the bottom.
