Today is Earth Day - Share the benefits of gardening with your family

Bring the magic of gardening home to your little ones by following these 5 easy steps!

1.Start small — a single pot of herbs like basil or mint on a windowsill is perfect for beginners

2.Give your child a job — let your child be in charge of watering each day to build routine & responsibility

3.Let your child choose — visit a nursery and let your child pick one flower or vegetable to grow as their own.

4.Keep a garden journal — draw the plant each week and watch it change. This is a way create life cycle learning!

5.Celebrate the harvest — make a simple recipe together using what you grew.

No yard? No problem! Container gardens, window boxes, and even recycled cans work beautifully. The goal isn't perfection — it's connection.
