Planning a Kid’s Garden

It’s almost spring for us here in the United States. In some places south the earliest crops might be even sown in the next couple of weeks. Whether you are new or an old hand at gardening, you might find it difficult to plan a kid’s garden. There are as many different types of kids as there are garden plants. How do you plan a toddler’s garden? With the toddler in mind of course. There are a few tips that can help you begin planning the toddler’s garden.

1. Be patient. If you can think back to when you first started gardening (or think how you feel now if you are new to gardening) you may have felt trepidation. It’s natural for a toddler to feel overwhelmed once the garden starts to really grow.

2. Give small tasks. A toddler’s attention span has a tendency to be short. Small tasks are better suited to a toddler.

3. Have them help you with the easy chores the first year. If you think your toddler may become too overwhelmed, then limit the tasks to just helping you water every other day or weeding.
