The Lexington Herald-Leader has an interesting article on getting your kids involved in gardening.
Giving youngsters their own small plots to take care
of with help from parents fosters pride and a sense of independence,
and might keep them from stepping on plants you value. Rhonda Burke did
that for daughters Natalie, now 13, and Haley, 8.
"It was a little area they could each call their own," Burke said. "They had a such good time with it." There is no doubt that gardening is rewarding experience, but even more so when you get to share in the enthusiasm little children have when their sunflowers begin blooming, or when you can actually get them to eat their vegetables because they grew them themselves.            |
