Spring
Plant hardy herbs with children
Introduce kids to seed starting trays, sunny windows, and gentle compost reminders. Use pastel pots and fun stickers to label herbs like basil, mint, and cilantro.
Early Summer
Mulching and soil care
Teach kids to spread straw or shredded leaves around shallow roots. Observing soil moisture helps develop curiosity and responsibility.
Late Summer
Compost harvests
Turn your compost heap with a child-safe tool. Celebrate with a family soil mix for potted vegetables and flowers.
Autumn
Seed saving and planning
Collect seeds from favorites. Create a family seed vault and plan next year's garden on a kid-friendly calendar.
