Children are able to discover ways to be helpful and resourceful by having their own garden. It is almost a no-brainer since it involves children having fun and getting dirty. When you help them choose what plants to cultivate, you will see their excitement when choosing.
The next few paragraphs should give you some tips for making your children enthusiastic to become a budding gardener.
Whenever letting your kids pick their own plant, have a group that they can select from. You should ask them to pick flowers or plants with bright colors since this is what they tend to like. Children usually tend to be captivated by bright flowers just like cosmos and zinnias. They can also be overwhelmed by tall and fuzzy, so make sure to have sunflowers. It may be a good idea to make sure that the plants they decide on will not cause allergic reactions. Kids can help from the beginning by planting seeds. You might just have them cover the seed with soil if it is too difficult for them to do the whole process. To keep their eagerness high, make them record their gardening experiences in a journal. They can record their progress or draw what their plants will look like. They can make a note of when they planted the seeds, and when the seeds first sprouted.
Put your household garden near where your children play, so they can watch their plants growth every time they walk by. This method will assure that your children will remain energized and enthusiastic. An alternative choice to keep them involved is to have them get the dirt ready. Maybe it's something as basic as breaking up the clumped up soil. What also helps to make sure they're interested is to get tools that are small enough for them to use. Allow their portion of the garden be theirs. Have a photo of each plant, so they will recognize what to look for when it starts growing. Place everything on a notecard with all the names of your children, so everyone will know they are a part of the garden.
You should also have your children water their particular plants. Even though it might seem simple, you will always need to show them how so that they don't give the plants too much water. Your kids can water their own plants using a small can. Children are likely to make goof ups as they tend their garden, which is a good way for them to learn. You need to make sure they know how to clean up as soon as they are done with their gardening.
If you provide them with some independence and empowering them with some responsibilities, they will take great care and have fun with their garden. With every step, they will likely make mistakes but they will probably learn and you can guide them through.
