Once you've turned people on to gardening, it's important to keep our kids committed to it. Point out how the plants they've helped care for have changed over time. Introduce them to some common pests and show them how to handle them. Explain the difference between these pests and beneficial insects to them, and tell them why some bugs can be good to have in the garden. Make sure they keep helping you with little chores. You may hate pulling weeds but find that your little helper loves the challenge of it. Invest in some kid’s gardening tools to accommodate their smaller, sensitive hands.
If you’re on a budget, you might be tempted to hit the classified ads to find help with your garden. But, how do you know you’re getting an experienced and knowledgeable professional? Working with At The Well Community Garden, you’re working with experts who can offer a comprehensive and collaborative experience. We’re here to advise as well as putting in the hard work so sit back, relax, and let us transform your garden into a little slice of heaven.
Getting kids into gardening from a young age is beneficial for everyone involved. The parent gets a break from doing the chores they hate, and the little ones learn that healthy food can come from somewhere other than the grocery store. Plus, they'll be much more excited to eat the fruits and vegetables that they've grown themselves!
