We have an old sand box that the kids are no longer using so we are going to recycle it into another garden just for the children now they can help with the family garden also but I thought it would be a great idea to let them have their own little raised garden and what a great way to recycle that old sand box.
so needless to say they are very excited to get started on their very own garden.
by having your children take responsibility for their own garden or even helping with the family garden this is a great real life lesson for them and a great way to instill in them being responsible for what they eat.
so our plans for their garden are radishes, cherry tomatoes, snow peas, and some green beans I let them choose what they wanted to plant and as I thought they choose there favorite vegies.
another thing we are planning on doing is taking 1 picture a day and do a slide show at the end so when there garden is ready to harvest we will put the slide show together and show the growth of the plants everyday.
This will show them that the care watering, weeding that they have done from start to finish has given them a wonderful harvest of vegies that they love to eat.
This is a couple of things that you can do with your children or grandchildren we will post some pictures as we progress with our gardening.
Now we would love to here some of your gardening ideas and please feel free to post some of your pictures on our blog we would love to see them.
