6 Fun Ways to Get Kids Excited
About Gardening!!
Gardening with kids can be both educational and fun! Here are 5 creative ways to spark their interest in growing plants:
- Start a Mini Herb Garden: Use small pots to plant herbs like basil, mint, or cilantro. Kids can watch them grow and enjoy using the fresh herbs in their meals.
- Build a Bug Hotel: Encourage curiosity about insects by creating a “bug hotel” with natural materials like twigs, leaves, and stones. It’s a great way to teach kids about garden ecosystems.
- Grow from Scraps: Show them how to regrow plants like green onions or celery from kitchen scraps. It’s a fun experiment that teaches sustainability.
- Paint Plant Pots: Let them personalize their pots with paint, stickers, or markers. It’s a simple way to get creative and connect with their plants.
- Plant a “Pizza Garden": Grow ingredients like tomatoes, oregano, and peppers, and make homemade pizza together using their harvest!
- Grow Mushrooms: Growing mushrooms is a great STEM project and growing experience. You can have mushrooms ready to eat in 10 days!!!!!
Gardening helps kids learn responsibility, patience, and an appreciation for nature—all while having a blast!
