Gardening for kids

Submitted by elm (not verified) on October 17, 2007 - 10:16.

Thanks for the awesome information provided, especially the list of the favorite plants. As a mother of two small children, I'm always searching for educational activities that not only help them develop strong bodies and minds, but also that create an awareness of good environmental living. I believe that we as parents have the responsibility to guide and encourage our children to care for our environment and the future health of our planet. Gardening is a simple and fun activity to capture kid's interest in nature and help them grow a sense of respect for the enviroment. I also want to add that the little ones obtain great benefits from this activity, from creating a sense of pride for their accomplishments, to being willing to eat the fruits of their labor (those veggies!)
Again, thanks for posting the recipe for success!!
