How to Get Kids Interested in Gardening

Gardening is a great way to get kids outdoors, learn about nature, and have some fun. But how do you get kids interested in gardening in the first place? Here are a few tips:

Make it fun and engaging. Gardening should be enjoyable for kids, so make sure to choose activities that they will find interesting. This could include planting seeds, watering plants, harvesting vegetables, or even just playing in the dirt.

Get them involved in the planning process. Let kids help you choose what to plant, where to plant it, and how to care for the plants. This will give them a sense of ownership and make them more likely to be interested in the project.
