Low Maintenance Garden Care for Kids

Taking care of a living thing is a great way to teach children responsibility. This summer ask your children to create a little garden of their own such as a bed of tomato plants or zucchini. Be sure to select a plant type that is robust and heat-resistant so they can withstand a few days without water. Stick to one or two types of plants to keep it simple. At the end of the season, you and your child will be able to enjoy the fruit of your efforts ~an added bonus! For more ideas, visit this Web site.
