Ready to dig deeper into the world of family gardening? Let’s plant some more ideas that will make your green thumbs tingle with excitement.
Learning Is Growing
- Seed Stories: If planting from seeds, look up the history of the plant variety. Where did they originate? How were they used?
- Trackers: Track the progress by having kids measure or draw their plants each week.
- Who Does What: Create a simple chart of garden tasks (watering, weeding) that kids can take turns with.
Let The Ideas Bloom
- Themed Garden: Choose a fun theme like a salsa garden (tomatoes, cilantro, peppers), a pizza garden (basil, oregano), or a tea garden (mint, chamomile).
- Upcycled Planters: Turn old cans, bottles, or egg cartons into creative planters. Kids can decorate them, too.
- Mini-Greenhouse: Use empty plastic containers to create mini greenhouses for your seedlings, boosting growth.
