Even if you don't have a backyard, you can create a special garden to enjoy with your children. All you need is a container, a few stones, soil, a plant or seeds, and some sunshine.
Container gardening is a lot of fun for kids.
They enjoy working with the smaller and more manageable area that container gardening naturally provides. With container gardening you and your children can enjoy year-round gardening, no matter where you live. Use the large shell you brought back from the beach last summer, your child's old wagon, a Lego planter made by your child, or try your child's favorite old shoe. Before tossing out a toy that your child no longer uses, consider using it as a planter. Of course garden shops also sell pots that are intended for planting.
