Gardeners, when was the last time you had a young one at your side while you played in the dirt? Consider turning your next venture outdoors into a little life lesson for a child unfamiliar with our methods. When you plant a seed in the mind of a child, you never know what will grow.
Today we'll consider the many important lessons that can be learned from a visit to the garden. By encouraging a child's natural curiosity about plants, dirt, and how things grow, you teach them valuable knowledge about their world -- and where exactly they fit within it.
From edible treats plucked off the vine to the distinct smells of a variety of fresh herbs, kids thrive when you let them loose among the flora. After all, we were all young once -- and gardeners, more than anyone, retained that childlike quality of LOVING to get our hands dirty.
