Get Children Interested in Gardening
When the weather is nice, you want to spend as much time as you can outside with your family. And one activity you can do with the kids is gardening.
Selecting plants for your children
- Children are attracted to colour and colour combinations that are bright and vibrant.
- Select plants that can stand up to a toddler’s hands, plants that have strong stalks and flower heads. Also, pick plants that can withstand a wide range of conditions, so you can teach your child to take care of them, with a larger margin for error.
- By choosing flowers that are fragrant, you can help your youngsters develop their sense of smell.
If you don’t have an outdoor space to plant in, or if it happens to be raining outside, there are many wonderful projects you can do with your child inside. There are products on the market such as egglings, nyokki and taterpots that teach a child to grow plants from seed, and also have fun things to look at while the seeds are growing.

We choose a selection of beans, tomatoes, peppers (sweet and chilli for me!), butternut squash, carrots, cucumber and brocolli.
The kids thoroughly enjoyed helping us prepare, first with the propogator trays and then with the planting into the main bed and pots!
With the changeable weather we have had quite a good crop and currently have 1 freezer draw full of beans and the kids love the idea of eating food that was picked and grown in their garden! and we’ve enjoyed it as it’s emensely satisfying growing and eating your own food and I can’t wait to try my peppers
