This is a post for all you parents and teachers sitting on the fence about whether or not you should try a garden this year (or make your current one bigger). It is time that you removed yourself from that very uncomfortable perch on that fence and come down to dig your fingers into the wonderful earth with the best of us crazy gardeners. It is time to plug in to nature and spend time exploring and learning in the natural environmental If not for our own health and sanity, for our kids. Our kids NEED us to garden!
Now is the Time to Garden With Your Kids
You have a beautiful garden. I agree with you, gardening with kids is such a wonderful experience. I remember helping my grandfather in his garden and he and I would have great conversations.
Thanks for such a sweet comment =) My gardens are kinda like my 4th baby that needs tending to and we grow to love each and every plant in it! You do have a great point – I feel more connected to family when I garden. It may be due to such fond memories being a kid in the garden with them.
I have begun to explore gardening 101. I do not think I have a green thumb at all and can never seem to keep a plant alive. My little one recently planted some seeds and today we saw some little leaves popping up!! We are so excited to see her little garden in full bloom soon! I, on the other hand, already lost a plant BUT my flower box seems to be doing okay so far…
And your garden inspires me to want to keep going and try for some veggies or fruit!
