Starting A Garden For Kids

Healthy vibrant soil healthy vibrant plants with built in disease and pest resistance and more nutrition.

Starting a garden for kids. Each year i add a combination of different types of organic matter including compost worm castings and mulch. 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. To add interest and color to the vegetable garden you might want to add some flowers and herbs.

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. Plus it makes sense to learn gardening basics before investing tons of time and money in this new hobby. Kids love color and gardens can be a very colorful place. Gardening with kids allows for the garden to become a very creative place.

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. A local gardening center can help. 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.
