Kid-Sized Gardening Tools and Kids' Gardening Projects
Gardening and Kids. They go hand in hand. Young children don't see gardening as work; they see gardening as a chance to be like Mom and Dad (or Grandmother or Granddad!). Children may see gardening as a chance to get messy - without getting in trouble! Children are naturally curious about nature and want to explore and discover what's out there in the great outdoors! Now is the time to nurture that love of nature. They feel a lot of satisfaction and pride growing something of their own!Help them grow up loving being outdoors, loving nature and plants, and loving spending time with you!

- I got my love of gardening from my dad by following him around the victory garden when I was very small. Later on I helped him. It's something you don't forget. Jason used to help me with our garden, too. I think gardening is a wonderful way to teach botany, as well as where food comes from.
