Benefits of Gardening With Kids
Gardening with your children is a fun and productive way to spend time together, reconnect with nature and get some exercise.
Let’s see how enjoyable this experience can be for everyone:
1. Improve Your Family's Eating Habits
Your kids will be more excited about eating fruits and vegetables that they've grown themselves. The anticipation of harvesting will make them want to try new foods.
2. Become More Environmentally Conscious
TV and the internet keep kids indoors much of the time. Working in the dirt with plants and insects is a valuable reminder about our dependence upon the natural world.
3. Reinforce a Sense of Gratitude
It's easy to forget all the effort that goes into producing the food we eat if we just order it online or pick it up at the store. Even a small venture into agriculture can increase our appreciation for the hard work involved.
4. Get More Physically Active
Sedentary lifestyles put kids at risk for becoming overweight. Planting and weeding are great ways to integrate more activity into daily routines.
Gardening with your kids will strengthen your relationship and may even help you cut down on grocery bills. Help your kids get an early start on appreciating nature's bounty and draw your family closer together with these timeless traditions.
