Kids Love Gardening! How to get your kids involved in Spring Planting.

First let them turn up the soil and get it  ready to plant your flowers (or vegis). You should tell them how this is to generate air in the soil. If the dirt is too hard the roots will not be able to grow properly. You can add a bag of potting soil if you like. It's alot easier to dig and has alot of nutrients too! 

                  GARDENING IS FUN FOR KIDS AND IS A GREAT LEARNING  OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM!

  Then tell them to pick out all of the sticks, roots and clods if their is any.
  They will also prevent the flowers from growing to their full potential. 
  After the soil is prepared then they can dig the holes to place the flowers in. 
  Not too deep now, we want them to fit in just right! 
  How they arrange  the flowers doesn't have to be perfect. After all
  It's their project and it looks beautiful to them! HAVING FUN YET?
  

       Once the flower is in place they can cover the roots
      with soil. When they are done they should press it in 
      and secure the plant firmly in the ground! Almost done!
