Kids and Veggie Gardening - Having Fun (Both of You)
Kids and vegetable gardening just go together. Dirt, bugs, food! Don't make gardening seem like work. Here are some fun ideas for getting kids to enjoy vegetable gardening and maybe even vegetables.
Garden in a Bucket - A Portable, Private Garden for Your Child
To make gardening fun and accessible to kids, you need to make it personal. This is a gardening project from my local 4H organization that you can easily do with your own little clover buds. Garden in a Bucket lets kids create a personal, private garden that they can take with them, take care of, show off and enjoy. It takes only a few minutes of effort, but the junior gardener can enjoy his or her garden all summer.
Getting Kids to Enjoy Vegetable Gardening
Tempt your kids into the vegetable garden with these fun, colorful and unexpected vegetables. They'll be surprised by what grows and look forward to planting even more.
