Gardening has provided us with so many benefits not only with the fresh fruits and vegetables that we get to eat everyday but also physically and mentally we are also healthy. For some kids, they may not be as interested in gardening as they are interested in playing video games but, luckily our son has develop a special interest in plants. I think it has really great impact on our kids if they see us maintaining our own garden. But, it's not always the case, it still depends on the likes of your child or children.
Kids could have fun while learning. People of all ages can enjoy gardening, but children in particular will surely enjoy ang gain lots of special benefits. It will unlock a lot of potentials from your kids. Being responsible is first on the list. They would learn how to care and maintain for their own plant. When my son received his first ever plant, which is called as the butterfly zenia garden in a pail, he was so excited. I can see that he really loves what he is doing. It was given to him by his Godfather. It's a gift that he cherished and he still takes care of the plant until now. The plant also grows with him.
Getting our children involve in gardening helps them appreciate nature and the food they eat too. They will develop new skills and learn about science and nature from growing their own food. Just make sure that your garden is a safe place with suitable equipment, tools, fences, gates and paths for children to use.
