Starting a garden for kids.

Once you start a garden you ll gain a new appreciation for healthy soil as it improves year after year. Decide between tilling and creating a raised bed. Each year i add a combination of different types of organic matter including compost worm castings and mulch. So i always try to spend my free time on starting out gardening projects for our kids.

A local gardening center can help. Rainbow gardens are a fun theme for children to participate in. This is a fun and inspiring guide for beginners to gardening. Plants that represent the colors of the rainbow red orange yellow green blue violet and indigo are great teaching tools that are exciting for.

If you re a beginner start small. Contact your local cooperative extension service. Kids love color and gardens can be a very colorful place. May 1 2017 at 1 49 pm.

Plus it makes sense to learn gardening basics before investing tons of time and money in this new hobby. To add interest and color to the vegetable garden you might want to add some flowers and herbs. Gardening with kids allows for the garden to become a very creative place. Kids also enjoy plants that offer unique shapes such as eggplant or gourds after harvesting gourds can be decorated and used as birdhouses you can even turn them into canteens or maracas.

Planting flowers was a pastime when i was a child and i especially like the idea of a plant journal. If you don t want to till and nourish the soil you ve got or if you have a bad back and would rather not be bending down so low to garden you can build a raised planting bed with non pressure treated wood.
