Teaching a Lifelong Lesson

Gardening
Gardening can be enjoyed in any season, and can be a process that takes months. Caring for a garden is relaxing, enjoyable, and when planting food, beneficial. You do not even need a large plot of land, plants can be planted in recycled goods! You can use old broken buckets, you can use milk cartons, if you can image it, you can use it as a planter. Children can take the knowledge of caring for a garden into their adulthood. Gardens help us learn about small birds and insects as well, as many flowers and fruits attract these creatures. To make this a safe project, be sure you have the correct sized gloves, shovels, buckets, and accessible soils. Also, be aware as to which children are allergic to insect stings, and have a plan of action ready to go in any given emergency. With the amount of rising nut allergies, it is probably best to avoid growing nuts of any kind, especially peanuts.
