Gardening is a great activity to share with kids of any age! Children love plants and watching them grow. Gardening not only teaches kids about caring for our environment and the earth, but it also helps them learn to appreciate the outdoors and build connections with family at the same time. Here are 5 tips for gardening with kids.
