  How does your Garden Grow?

 

Kids gardening

When you teach your children about plants and get them involved in gardening, you are be giving them a hobby they can enjoy for the rest of their lives, a hobby that can provide them with healthy organic food, or flowers to bring joy to their lives and trees to keep their air clean and perhaps provide fruit.
.
Children absolutely LOVE eating vegetables they have grown themselves (yes even Brussels Sprouts – they’re so cute!). The growing of food eventually leads to an interest in cooking, another useful life skill.

 

Childs gardening hand tools
For toddlers, the lightweight hand held plastic tools are perfect. They can be used to help in the garden or played with in the sandpit where there is no risk of damaging young plants. The chunky handles provide a good child's grip and are comfortably shaped.
A good story reinforces what they have learnt at play;

Designed with child ergonomics in mind, the two-handled watering can looks great and is an essential in these times of water restrictions

 

Childs Watering Can

 

The 1.5 Litre volume means there is enough water to make it worthwhile but not so much that it is too heavy when full. 3 favourite colours.

Book Uno's Garden

 

Uno’s Garden is a great story about the environment and losses caused by urbanization, and the subsequent recovery. Kids love finding the quirky animals in the pictures, which involves a counting and math lesson on every page.  This story easily leads to discussions about conservation.

Safety is always a top priority and gardening gloves not only keep hands clean, they give full protection from microbes in the soil.
