There are so many reasons to have a garden, and what are they you may ask?

1. Counsel from Church Leadership
2. Teaching Good Principles & Responsibility
3. Saving Money
4. Being Self Reliant
5. Spending Time Together as a Family

I am sure that you could come up with other reasons on your own, and please don’t think that the above was in any specific order other than that’s how they came to mind. My own children love spending time in our garden…why you ask? Because I have tried to make it fun. As a young child I remember weeding the garden and mostly doing it in the hot sun.

I decided when I grew my first garden with kids, that I would do whatever I could to make it fun for them. I try to do all my work early in the morning or in the evening. One thing the kids also know is that this is their garden, there are rules, but, there are certain things that they can go in and eat at anytime they would like. Of course, they have to be grown, but, vegetables like peas or broccoli and strawberries are all things that can be eaten off the vine or plant…even tomatoes!

Letting children plant flowers and take care of them is a great way to cultivate a love for gardening and for the earth. Let your children have their own spot in the garden, let them choose a plant or plants of their own to grow.
