You don't need a lot of room in your yard to let your kids have a some room to grow plants - give your child a large pot and let them create a small garden of their own.
I told Jane how many plants would fit in this planter - we went to the garden center and she picked out the plants.
After you put in the soil, stand back and let your child plant. Children love to garden on their own. Jane was really thrilled with this project.
