Great gardening for the kids - Real Mum story on MoM

6 Comments

Ive had a special raised bed made out of a side of a swimming pool for the kids to dig in their own area. I could not let them did in my area as they would pull all the plants out especially after caring them for so long. I made their garden raised, put their garden tools in and now they enjoy digging in their patch of the garden while they leave mine alone. Ive even given them seeds to plant and water.

My kids also have a section of the garden that’s all theirs.

There is nothing more rewarding for a child that has so much interest in planting a handful of seeds & watching them grow. Our granddaughter comes here weekly & goes straight out the back to her garden to check it out!

That’s a great idea. I’m sure they will enjoy it and have fun while learning. How proud will they be if they manage to grow something they can eat or put in a vase!
