In a world full of computer screens and television sets, it is important to get children outside. A great way to keep your little ones outside enjoying the fresh air is by having a garden that they can maintain. Here are some important tips to help your child with their garden.
Let your child do it themselves. The garden does not have to be done exactly right; the most important part is that they are doing it.
Choose easy and terrain-appropriate plants. Living in South Jersey, you will not want to plant a cactus or a palm tree. Try planting fresh vegetables. Those are easy to manage and flourish in this area.
Avoid stressing out. It is okay if you spilled some dirt or used too much water. The important thing is that you went outside and tried!
Avoid chemicals. Safety and health are the number one priorities when planting with your children. Use organic soil and plant food.
Have fun! This one is a no brainer. Gardening with your child should be a fun project that you can do together.
Hopefully these tips have inspired you to go out and plant a garden with your little ones!
