Kids enjoy the dirty, wriggly, messy side of gardening. Let them have fun in the garden and maybe learn a little something along the way. Here are some great gardening projects you can enjoy along with them.

It takes only a few minutes of effort, but the junior gardener can enjoy his or her garden all summer.
