Family Gardening Activities

We've just added another fabulous
resource to our Resource section!

Summer is usually the time when families start to think of activities they can do together. With the weather being so nice, most of us try to think of things we can do outside.

Why not try gardening?

If you plant things that your family eats, you can save money, eat better and help the environment all at the same time!

Seriously. Do you know how far your food has to travel to get to you? Think of all the packaging they need to use so that your food stays fresh through the trip and the wait time in your refrigerator or pantry. Plants also help replenish our air with oxygen and our soil with nutrients.

If you are interested but aren't sure where to start, head on over to Kids Gardening: Helping Young Minds Grow. It's a resource provided by the National Gardening Association, so you know they will have some great, tried-and-true ideas!

Have fun and stay safe,
