Do you remember your first plant or starting your first garden?
Maybe it started with pansies or tomatoes. I remember a small plastic cup that was cut in half. I put a couple of geranium seeds in the container that turned into some really beautiful plants with flowers. It was all part of a school project and I enjoyed it so much. I felt like I had a green thumb.
Perhaps you have had the opportunity to do the same, or grow flowers or vegetables in your parents. I had a few avocado trees growing on my windowsill, which never amounted to anything more than a very long stem with some leaves on top, but it was fun to watch.
No matter how or when you start gardening, it will quickly become a lifelong hobby. There are many ways to make gardening fun for kids. Reverse Tomatoes are a great way for kids to fun things and to help nutritious, organic food at the same time.
Hanging planters can be bought at a garden center. You must fill dirt, compost, moss, and tomato plants. As the plant grows the bottom leaves are curling in search of the Sun Eventually, when tomatoes begin to grow they will weigh in, and the result is a beautiful hanging upside down tomato plant.
Windowsill gardens are also great for kids and adults. They can find everything from flowers to cactus gardens or indoor events. Create a beautiful cactus garden, you only have a few materials:
plastic drawer organizer (small plastic boxes in length)
half and half with sand and soil builders
Pre-mixed cactus soil can also be used
some gravel
a pair of specially collected small stones
Purchase a series of small cactus, available in most garden centers. It is advisable to replant the cactus in the ground using a bite of salad tongs to avoid nettles.
When transplanted, water them very easily.
Put a thin layer of gravel and put some nice decorations like plastic lizard cowboy or purchased from a local craft store. Add some signs made of Popsicle sticks.
The cactus just needs to be watered once a month.
In any case, these are some fun ways to get your child to learn the love of gardening and provide hours of outdoor activities with many rewards for the diligent inspire.
