Getting your kids into the garden!

Getting your kids into the garden!

 

The act of gardening is beneficial for us for a number of reasons. Getting your kids out in the garden with you can improve their connection to nature, boost their mood, encourages sensory play, let's them have fun and spend quality time with you!

 

Fall is the perfect time for giving your garden a reset! Planting trees and shrubs is ideal during this time to help the plant's roots get established before the colder months arrive.

 

So why not take advantage of this ideal planting time and head out into the garden to complete a few projects with you and your kids to help. Here are a few ideas to get your kids into the garden!

 

Get them their own pair of gardening gloves for kids that want to help dig some weeds or help place new soil! 

 

For the kids that like to wander around the garden, get them a fun watering can and let them help care for the plants as they explore!
 
For the bug enthusiast: a magnifying glass! There's lots to see and discover in the garden!
 
While you're planting a new shrub, let your kid do the same (on a smaller scale) by planting their own houseplant alongside you!
 
No matter their age, there's something fun for everyone outside. Come see us and get inspired!
