There are so many great reasons to get your little ones outside and make a family garden.
- It encourages them to eat healthier. They will learn healthy habits from growing their own fruits and vegetables. They are more likely to try new foods if they grow them.
- They will learn about the life cycle of plants. That plants need sun and water and the bugs and dirt that help them grow.
- It provides engaging and moderate exercise. They will get exercise through raking, digging and planting. The best part is that they are so engaged they don't even realize the exercise they are getting.
- It builds confidence. They will feel a sense of accomplishment as they see their garden grow.
- Gardening exercises important reasoning, initiation, planning and organizational skills.
