When we think of planting a garden, we usually picture a large field or backyard but, you don’t need either of those things for a good garden! I love container gardening simply because it’s easy and containers do not take up your entire yard. Plus, my kids love it! Every single year, we plant new veggies in large containers. Think outside the box for this one, use an old wheel burrow or random pots, buckets, etc. Get creative and make your garden look amazing!
This is a great activity for kids, it gives them a chance to not only see where their food comes from but also gives them responsibility for taking care of that food. Plus, gardening is no easy task! You and your children will benefit greatly from the exercise!
