You love gardening and want to pass on this interest to your children. One way to get young children started in this very fulfilling hobby is to buy them a grow kit for kids. These prepackaged all-in-one gardening supplies will intrigue and delight them as they learn how to plant and care for their very own plants.
These packages contain everything needed to grow a specific type or types of plants. This includes pots, soil, and seeds. The directions as to how deep to plant the seeds and how much water the plants will need is clearly stated on the packaging. The time it takes to full growth will also be stated.
Youngsters will be able to experience firsthand what it takes to plant and care for seeds. They will also learn the value of consistency in light and water needed to ensure healthy outcome. You will probably see them watching the pots daily for signs of growth and produce or blooms.
They can plant vegetables and will be much more like to consume them at mealtime if they have had a hand in planting and caring for them. Some of the very best to consider would include radishes, beans, carrots, peas, and cherry tomatoes. Some packs may come already stocked with a variety of different vegetables to plant.
There is not a wide selection of fruits that grow really well in smaller pots but one of these could be strawberries. What kid does not like strawberries? These packaged seeds could also include starter options for tangerine, lemon, lime or orange trees. After they have reached a certain height, they could be replanted in a larger pot and eventually in the yard. Your entourage will get a real thrill from picking the first fruits from one of these trees.
Herbs are also a popular item to plant. Thyme, basil, cilantro, dill, rosemary, mint, and oregano are just a few of the many types of herbs that can be easily sown in small pots. When the children help you cook the family dinner, they will be so excited to be able to add their very own fresh flavorings to the various foods that are prepared for the household and also much more likely to eat the creations that they helped make.
Last but not least, they can plant flowers. These may include small marigolds, dwarf zinnias, daisies, or any other type of fresh bloom. The children can re-pot them into larger pots and watch them continue to thrive either inside or outside. They can even give them away to a grandparent or a shut-in as gifts when the plants just begin to bloom.
Using these small pots will help their interest in gardening immensely. Next year, they can move on to container gardening and grow such plants as larger tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, green beans, and so much more. If you have yard space, you will eventually be able to introduce them to in-ground gardening and have them assist with the compost, the tilling of the soil, the planting, and weeding that it takes to bring these fruits and vegetables to their full growth.
