Growing a Gardening Kid

Owen’s Kid Gardening Tips:

• Use fast growing & high yield plants like Beans, Strawberry and Primrose
• Plant Directly from Seeds because kids love seeing plants grow from nothing
• Container Gardening is Great Option. Get creative with fun containers like wagons, boots, or anything colorful
• Have them make a schedule for Watering, Weeding, and Tracking Progress
• Schedule gardening duties in small doses to avoid stretching beyond attention spans
